Dinghy cruising grab bags - What goes in your dinghy grab bag?

I am never sure about what to put in a grab bag for a day sail or for extended coastal hop sailing. So here we go. This is my first effort. If you think I have too much, too little, inappropriate stuff......missing something vital, then do get in touch via the comment box.

Now be kind. I have been laid up in bed for two days with a somewhat virulent sickness bug!
