What do you keep in your boat first-aid kit?

Just wondering what kind of first-aid kit you guys keep in your boats. We are usually miles from any hospital when we ride and just wanted some ideas of thing you have needed or wished you had for injuries while on the water. Last year my husband blew out his ankle on the first run of the day and we didn't have anything to cut the binding with and it took forever to remove it ( and alot of pain ).

Or a 6 pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. :-)

My Dad is a dentist and was at a 3 event comp once and put a slalom ski through his lip. He rushed to his office, stitched himself up and rushed back to place in the competition. After that he started carrying a "stitch" kit in the boat. A few years ago I was cleaning out the bow compartment in his 88 Ski Nautique and found the kit. The tools and needles were rusted and the pain killer bottle was dry but it was still cool to find it and reminisce with my pops.

I bought a first aid kit for the boat but have only used band-aids from it.

Superglue is all you need, but since Clint Eastwood is my hero, I usually include a flask of whiskey.

We've got some Ibuprofen, few bandaids, some saline solution for those contact (or however you spell that) people, and an extra neoprene kneebrace. Thats about it. We have 911 for anything requiring more than that
