Don't know what size vessel, but, as a minimum:

Take additional warm clothing particularly additional socks and dry shoes.
Take water.
Take some waterproof bags (for the above).

Ensure there is a small pail on board for emergency bailing.
Lastly, the fisherman's rule to take about the weather (or the engine, or anything):

'if in doubt, don't go out.'

If you mean a submarine? Put your back against the wall and don't let anyone get to you and take the top bunk lol

When I told my old submariner friend that I wanted to be a pilot, he said this.

"There's really not a lot of difference between us except that if we have problems we can maybe swim to the surface. You have to rely on an ejection seat and if that fails....You can't swim through the air."

I think you misspelled 'prison' there.

Yeah, there's a big difference between a pleasure cat in the Caribbean and an Arctic ice breaker......
