Don't forget that a spare CO2 extinguisher serves well to chill beer after
landfall. As long as you have more than enough other extinguishers, a
surplus CO2 unit is a great way to frost a beer for the long night before
you can get to a store (& CO2 refill)

Halon, which supports life for enough time to escape, has been replaced by
two functionally similar chemicals. One supports life and the other
(cheaper) one doesn't. They are found in any decent marine catalog.
In addition, a bulkier solution has been with us for some time, CO2, which
not only suppresses fire, but also chokes off run away diesels.
