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.


For you Nealbur prudent seamanship is accomplished by never sailing
anywhere. Thanks....well done.

" You can usually find him drunk down at the
Lorilie Bar, just look for the heavily rusted Toyota pickup parked
outside. " or at his flop house on Cathrine street"


" When he's on his boat he parks the rust heap over on Mastic St where
the rust stains are embedded into the pavement. "

Face it Nellie, you're nothing but a Capt. Kangaroo wanna be.
You've been chained to cedar bucket mound for the last 15 years
according to some locals in your town. The best you could muster was a
day sail with a Okie you described as having "cottage Cheese
Thighs"....

If every mariner followed you by example then the SAR would indeed be
obsolte.

Something Joe seems to know little about, BTW.
