Start here: http://www.trauma.org/index.php/community/list/url/http:list.ftech.net/pipermail/trauma-list/2007-January/_http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-w/g-wk/wkh/smc/_ 
(http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-w/g-wk/wkh/smc/)   , in particular, Appendix G. Also check Auerbach's 
Wilderness Medicine for more  recomendations. Doctors Without Borders also has a 
web site, but probably more  comprehensive than you will need.

You might also find a copy of Chapman's "Piloting", which includes many of  
the needs of life at sea.
