If your boat is close enough to be affected by the EMP, I feel fairly
confident you will NOT have a boat to go back to.

Sure you have. If a moderate (what is that anyway) nuclear bomb explodes at
high altitude, say 30km, there will be hardly any physical damage on the
ground, but in a radius of about 1000km, all electronics will be destroyed
because of an EMP.
