According to the experts, in this case the US Coastguard, the basicsupplies needed when a person is stranded mid-ocean are articles toattract attention and aid survival until rescue arrives. A transatlantic triptakes roughly 20 days; significantly less with good winds and significantlymore without them. Articles for navigation are of little importance since even if a small liferaft were capable of reaching land, it would be impossible to storeenough food and water to survive for that amount of time.
