I found something that has hit us in the safety business close to home. As much as we use safety equipment to make money we get a good feeling when someone walks out of our doors with and EPIRB, PLB or Life Raft. We are a small business and we try to be involved in our community and spread the good word about safety and the need for the proper equipment. Someone finally posted what we have been thinking for a while.
EPIRBs
If this doesn't make the case for requiring, by law, an EPIRB beyond the state water boundary, I don't know what would. I'll say another prayer for these men and their families.
This is from the fishing forum and I can't help but think about the way many of these situations could have ended differently.
A PLB is between $300.00 and $600.00 with a GPS on board the unit ....skip a weekend of fishing and use the $300.00 you would have spent for food, drinks, and fuel to buy a PLB! It could very well save your life!
