TWO working VHF radios.. one mounted and the other a handheld, sealed in a waterproof plastic bag. (you can buy them made just for handhelds)
A CB radio isn't a bad idea either.. you'd be surprised at how many people use CB on the water..
And if you really want to spend money on something that hopefully you'll never use, buy an EPIRB. If you think back a month or so ago about that 16 year old girl that was sailing around the world and got into trouble.. the way they found her was by her EPIRB. They are a pretty good thing to have in case the unthinkable happens.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
