waves.....most probably imagined after one too many drinks in a comfy
Lazy-Boy...

That's it. Aren't there EPIRBS that attach to life vests? I'm buying one
before the boat hits the water this spring.
At this point I believe they are too big and expensive.
I carry a VHF handheld on my person while sailing.
Too bad someone can't design a minature EPIRB that could pin to your PFD
similar to the little strobe lights.
This one's tiny.

That might be the ticket.
It's only 121.5 MHz, and that satellite monitor freq. is going away in 2009.
But this one is 406 with GPS
