Real life danger...

After reading days of posts about singlehandling and monster waves.....most probably imagined after one too many drinks in a comfy Lazy-Boy... here's a reminder that real life dangers do exist.. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/nova-scotia...ip-search.html That's it. Aren't there EPIRBS that attach to life vests? I'm buying one before the boat hits the water this spring. At this point I believe they are too big and expensive. I carry a VHF handheld on my person while sailing. Too bad someone can't design a minature EPIRB that could pin to your PFD similar to the little strobe lights. |

It's only 121.5 MHz, and that satellite monitor freq. is going away in 2009. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

There are small personal EPIRBs that can bee attached to the PFD. It's called a PLB, personal Locator Beacon. 5.7" x 3.03" x 1.74" 12 oz. $650 krj |
