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.

You are so correct my esteemed mariner..............

However ever prudent mariners should have the EPIRB onboard. The
problme is that so many use the USCG as a taxi service and are not
aware of the USCG SAR mission.
