Hi Wally, I just listened to the interview on our NPR station. Just finished googling the Navy rescue video, and the ship data, and blog. My heart goes out to those guys, but it's great our Navy and Coast Guard have such capabilities.

I've had that happen to me *twice* in the last 18 months, and while they were very cool and FedExed a new SIM card internationally, it is very disconcerting. I consider that thing a very important piece of safety gear, and in fact only have it in case of emergency. I don't think FedEx will deliver to a boat off shore.
