After reading the many posts that skip and others experince with SPOT
i would ont consider it as emergency equipment.

You got a boat.

You want to get found?
You want to get your ass pulled out of the water like Joe et al?
You want this to happen asap?

Go ask the USCG Search and Rescue guys what they recomend.... Youll
find them a very helpful group with lots of information for
recreational yachters. My thinking is make the SAR guys job easy.



Lame, Bob, lame! A real sailor thinks the best course of action is to render
the SAR guys' job obsolete. This is accomplished by prudent seamanship.
Something Joe seems to know little about, BTW.
