Er, ummm... it's not a good idea to clip yourself to lifelines. You should
use jacklines. They're designed for that. Lifelines aren't.

What would a lifejacket have done?
If he had a life jacket with a harness and the harness was clipped to the
life lines, he would not have been lost over the side. Most people that
I
know use the safety harness and life jackets when they are off shore. I
always wear the Mustang SOS inflatable life jacket when I am on the Great
Lakes.

Sorry Capt. JG, It's my bad terminology. I did mean to say Jackline not
Lifeline.

An emergency battery that can be easily switched into the radio
circuit is something I'm going to install. It may be a dry cell set
that won't self discharge and can be completely isolated from the rest
of the system. With our little diesel, it might even start the engine
in a pinch.

I have one of those Canadian Tire emergency batteries on board. It
includes 12 v outlets, a small inverter and battery cables for exactly
one serious boost. There are "nautical" versions that even have nav
lights G.
