FYI, another hard lesson i learned like the stupid worthless 5Watt powerless VHF...
during that rescue with erinoo aka Eric N. a few months ago, I was wailing on my rape whistle to Darkhorse and he couldnt hear me in a motoring skiff from -75 Yards away....i almost passed out from lack of oxygen....saw thousands of stars i blew so hard....i asked him once yakside during the rescue, and he confirmed he didnt hear my whistle till -40 yards or closer..

PFD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
