Because it's obsessive..if you're that aftaid something's going to
happen, then do don't him sailing....

Almost every boat I know of carries a cell phone (because everyone has
one these days), a handheld and a fixed radio. So all I carry that's
"extra" is the spare radio and emergency antennas. I've acquired a few
radios over the last few years, so keeping a spare on board with a
little rollup antenna is not exactly panic in the wings, Katy. The FRS
radios are for fun, in case you thought anyone was going to call for
help on them.

How about SSB, Bubbles? You could contact someone in Kenya if the little
guy needs a diaper change.
