Dave:

The Spot Tracker works well, and is very effective, but it takes on average 10-20 minutes to guarantee a satellite hit.

Bring 2 radios (JIS7 submersible), not one. I suggest Standard Horizon or Icom, and one with a wrist strap in addition to a clip (loop the wrist strap around one of your PFd staps just in case it comes unclipped by accident.)

Fresh Water: one or two drops of bleach will clean up the water. Let it sit 10 or 20 minutes. a drop or two of lemon will cover up taste issues. How about a water filtration pump? The 1 micron filters really clean up the water. The British heated tea (and the Americans coffee) in WWII to cover the taste of iodine. You should take some of it as a back up to the other 2.

Taking a stove? How much fuel and what kind?

Good luck on your trip.
