Did some checking - apparently the PLB form doesn't have a boat name, but it doesn't really matter. They want a CONTACT NAME so they can call and ask if it is a real distress call. I have thought of leaving the following on my voice mailbox: "If this is the USCG, hang up the damn phone and come get me. If you are someone else, leave a message at the beep"

The automatic ones are good for a sudden disaster where you are literally diving off the boat in what you are wearing.

I know the EPIRB is registered to the boat and the PLB is not. I know the EPIRB is good for 48 hours, the PLB is good for 24. If I get out of the Bay it will be to New England or possibly Bermuda (in my dreams). Which would you buy? If an EPIRB, Type I automatic or Type 2 manual? -- Joel 35/3 The Office Annapolis 301 541 8551<tel:301%20541%208551> _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com<mailto:CnC-List@cnc-list.com> -- Joel 301 541 8551<tel:301%20541%208551> -- Joel 301 541 8551
