EPIRBs have saved a lot of lives, Wayne. The faster they can locate
you, the better the chance that you'll be alive whern they get there.


I own a pretty good EPIRB but I don't have any illusions about being
found alive in cold rough water - in a life raft, OK - tropical water,
OK if the sharks don't find you first - 65 degree water, not so much.
