There's an assortment of small items good to have within arm's reach, from the cockpit and cabin, such as... sunscreen, mouthwash, saline for eyes , 1 pint ziplock bag for small trash items, pens, flashlight, mouthwash, earplugs, cell phone, sunglasses, drinks, dry skin cream, pocket knife, anchor alarm gps... so i'll hang from a few hooks placed near the companionway, cabin side and cockpit side, little accessory bags, and i just stuff them with all this junk that you just can't live without, on a boat . The binoculars i velcro to somewhere on the cockpit seats near the companionway, same with a clock, portable transistor radio-sized am/fm/wx radio, flat hiking compass (to always know where North is). As a rule, car keys and cell phone always stay in some secure location inside the cabin. The Maptattoo GPS has its own stand made out of foam , velcro,and wood, so as to angle it 45 degrees, and stands free, so can be placed anywhere (and velocroed to, in rough seas) on the cockpit seats, as it's best put in one place for rowing, and a different when sailing. Fair winds...

Maybe a “Flotsam & Jetsam “ article would be fun showing photos of people’s homemade modifications for similar projects. Thanks.
