Lucky their phone had any sort of a reception.

I just ordered a handheld VHF for my kayak this morning .... reading this makes the point why its money well spent. Very lucky people.

Safety clothing as well - buying it through this link supports AN though our comission payments!

Seriously though you need the right gear on open seas (or big lakes, rock fishing etc). We all read the stories in the news, yet most of us (me included in the past) say it will never happen to us...

 

Anyway - nice to see a positive outcome in this case. It's been a bad enough week for sea accidents.

That boat didnt look like 60 grand to me, but as an athist you may think the storey would make me think twice about faith in god, it doesnt, but it does give me faith in the emergancy services BLESS THEM LOTS.

I believe we can take a positive from every situation......at least the people of the South Seas have been spared another missionary.

 

Who the hell are the people of the South Seas anyway?

NEVER GO TO SEA WITHOUT A VHF ITS LAW.

I suppose Mr. Haggis was just floating past in a sheep's pluck!
