I was chatting with a friend in the Coast Guard today. I asked him if there was a device similar to an EPIRB I could have on board my boat, and teach my young son how to use, in case of an emergency.
He suggested a personal locator beacon (PLB). Apparently, it’s not registered like an EPIRB but they do monitor for such signals and will come looking for you if you set yours off.
Is anyone here using one of these? What else might you suggest, other than a cell phone?
FWIW I fish only in waters that are fairly protected. I don’t venture out into main lakes except when the weather permits, and I am never more than a few minutes from cover. We just have a 14’ aluminum semi-v. But I do go to places that we might not see another boat for hours (up in creeks, etc).
Moral judgment under girds the entire structure of laws and is necessary for the rational structure of any significant statute. The idea that our laws can stand independent of moral foundation is senseless.----- Albert Mohler.
