OK, so buddy and I spent a scary 15mins or so bobbing around in growing swell, diminishing light, and no boat a while back in the Farnes - not something I wish to repeat, but I want to be better prepared next time!
Considering an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) however that aside I note the Health and Safety Exec did some tests and are recommending a flourescent yellow flag as the best all round surface signalling device (even better if you fit a strobe to flagpole top).
Anyone got any advice on which flourescent yellow flag, any not to get, any good deals they've noticed around?
Ditto on the bright strobe for the top of it.
Cheers,
Dave.
