If you just started a 4 week cruise, How in the hell can you be out of
radio range?

You're kidding right? I don't list the local and it's entirely possible to
be
out of VHF range in less than a day from a vareity of start points. Use
your
imagination.

In your case, entirely likely that you'll ever be out of cell phone range,
let alone VHF.
