There is no legitamate excuse to not have an EPIRB/PLB if your offshore

as there appears to be nobody in this thread that actually knows the missing boaters, i guess its not in poor taste to move on from the rescue effort discussion

yes, everyone should have a beacon.
if you dont, this one is extremely affordable and well reviewed. fortunately i've never had to use it but it stays with me when i'm on the boat

Cheaper than a load of fuel or two for anybody who fishes offshore. Make two less trips this year and buy that.

There isnt any excuse and sitting behind our keyboards we know that, but it's tough logic for a coonass to swallow. I've spend much more than that on dumb shite this year but we dont think that way. Im sure we've all pointed the boat at a purple cloud and said frick it and went anyway at some point and got away with it.

Of course, going offshore on an iffy day without any electronics is probably still significantly safer than driving back and forth to work. We're all playing the life lottery every day and these guys just drew the short straw that day.
