When I get the time, I’m going through my V to be sure it’s ready before putting into the Pacific off Oregon. This article seriously adjusted the level of preparation I’m going to be making AND I won’t be going off shore very far - mostly crab, rock fish and salmon close in and only in very good weather.
I’ll definitely have a VHF programmed to send lat/lon and my backup handheld radio.
Thanks for posting this - a great lesson. Spending a few bucks on good safety gear is CHEAP.
