I agree, brings up some interesting problems. But Faith went to far and
blew it with the Dad refuses to bring along an Eprib because he dont
want to be a bother to anyone.... That or her Dad indeed has a death
wish and is putting it into action.

But if he was doing that then he would be happy to bring along an
epirb, any sailor knows all you have to do is turn it off or remove the
batteries and no one would be bothered and a nosy daughter would not be
the wiser.

BTW did Neal send you a Christmas card from Nassau? His say Merry
Christmas unlike GW's.
