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.
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
