    how long will ya last in 57-65 water?

    dont forget that little fact. not very long. as in i doubt ewlast 1 hour. better to have a survival suit as well, bout 290 at cape fish in chathy. since the coasties will have to find you in 1 hour, and 2 is well, 2 late.

    Ya dont want to be thay guy, bobbin in the water thinking, damn wish I spent 300 clams!

    Course the issue is, do you wear it solo lol. Prob not. Dont use auto-pilot solo, dont pee over the side boat in gear. You leave the helm, be in neutral!

    PLB is on my list along with a wearable PFD, and I have an EPIRB and suit and DSC interfaced to GPS.

    65 degree water or less is no joke. I can recall a couple Nov runs and the radio checks become very lonely!

    Good comments Joshmon,

    With my level of body fat I should last a little longer than an hour , but the survival suit is a good idea.
    good advice from all. thanks for the education on EPIRBs and PLBs.
