Thanks Dave...the VHF is a bit different heading to the Abacos or crossing to Eleuthra since there is lot less traffic. We were stranded in Great Sale one year with a busted fuel pump and could raise no one on the VHF...The Globalstar brought friends to our assistance. Lots of folks go with only VHF but I like the assurance of a connection that the sat phone gives in case of a medical or other emergency.
