Guys invest in a SPOT &/or EPIRB a few hundred dollars is nothing compared to your life.

Worked offshore for 15 years. The first thing I taught my crew was if the boat goes down and you see the guy with the EPIRB get your arse as close to him as possible!!!!. The EPIRB is your best chance of being found at sea. Also remember how important a life jacket is. Know your equipment and know where it is. Thanks to God for their survival.

It was really cool how the fishermen in that nice offshore boat found them and gave them a steak dinner.
