Checklists for you and your crew
SeaMemo has two kinds of checklists: shared trip lists that every crew member can edit and tick off, for example for provisioning, and personal lists such as your packing list, which you reuse on every trip and can share with individual crew members.

Two kinds of lists
| Trip list (shared) | Personal list |
|---|---|
| Belongs to a trip | Belongs to you |
| All crew members edit and tick off | Share with individual crew members if you want |
| For example provisions, drinks, casting off check | For example packing list, documents, medication |
| Create new or take over from one of your lists | Reusable on every trip |

Typical lists for a trip
Provisions
The classic trip list: water, breakfast, snacks for the passage, basics for the galley. Because everyone works on the same list, nobody buys twice, and whoever is in the supermarket sees at once what is still missing.
Personal packing list
Deck shoes, foul weather gear, head torch, chargers, ID, licence. Set it up properly once and you never search for that old note again.
Before casting off
Engine checked, seacocks, hatches closed, fenders and lines ready, weather forecast. For taking over a charter yacht there is the dedicated charter check with report and signature.

Better next time
The best packing list is written after the trip: what did you never use, what was missing? Update your personal list right after the holiday and it is ready for the next one. By the way, good preparation helps more against seasickness than any last minute remedy, see the guide seasickness when sailing.
What belongs in your bag for a week of charter, from documents to shoes, is in the guide sailing packing list.
