You activated your EPIRB - Now what
A article on what happens with activating an EPIRB (from CG perspective)...

Thanks for the link, very interesting. And quite timely, I was literally just looking at EPIRBs in the Sailnet store when I flipped back to the forum and saw your post. Learned a few good things.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Another reason not to carry firearms on board. Oh no, now I've done it... Cam, you'll need to move this thread to the 'political' arena.
