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..

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.

This one's tiny.

That might be the ticket.


It's only 121.5 MHz, and that satellite monitor freq. is going away in
2009.

But this one is 406 with GPS

Yeah, and it's only 5x the price. :-)
