| Thanks Dan. This opens up a lot of other questions. SInce you and Paul seem to peruse the archives of this site, I think you may find that the prevailing consensus was that VHF radios were the ticket and that EPIRBs and other devices may take too long for a response. Now, though, with new technologies, and knowing that DSC GPS points are only sent when the button is pushed, that may change the thinking. Would an EPIRB have resulted in you being rescued more quickly? Would an apple iwatch track GPS location at all times when you push the emergency button, or would it be more like the DSC function? | Thanks Dan. This opens up a lot of other questions.

| - | I often wonder about striking the right balance between overheating and immersion preparedness. You mention wanting to be prepared for immersion in the future, but I'm curious what your gear setup was on Saturday. A 3/2 full wetsuit? A shorty? Hydroskins? | ||
