There are alternatives to epirbs now. I think they are called spot or something. Cost is around 300 dollars, even cheaper depending on which kind you get there are a couple of differnet levels/types.

10 years working offshore taught me to respect the open water. Absolutely no way I would take a kayak out past a bay. I have seen too many squals, insane tides, and water spouts pop up out of nowhere and get 30 foot offshore vessels in trouble. You are asking to die if you take a kayak offshore. Once you are in the water it is 100% over for you and it will happen in a hurry. I've seen tides so strong we were worried it would topple our jack up over and on a crystal clear day. A kayak wouldn't stand a chance in that.
