Say, JH, I personally never go anywhere in my luxo-yacht without my trusty *EPIRB, which is supposed to go off all by itself if I founder. I also have one on my PFD Harness gizmo (small fortune that bit'o'gear).

Don't airliners have EPIRBs? I really don't know. But airliners, among others, are precisely what are supposed to pick up my beacon in case of disaster. So if this rig splashed, their EPIRB would go off, right?

*E mergency P ersonal I nternational R adio B eacon (or something real close). Little red thing, strobe on top'o'mine, too. Batteries supposed to last 72 hours.

Thanks. That’s more useful. Still not clear if they are allowing for the full maximum range - cruising on one engine, for example, and reducing the load by cutting almost all drains - generators, air compressors for passenger air, catching a jet stream (are there jet streams at that latitude?), etc.
