> (and there are a lot of sea kayaks in > Barkley Sound!). Actually, (and delightfully) I had the sound to myself, except for two kayakers I chatted up as they paddled by my camp on Dodd on the first evening. And an occasional fishing boat. Wonderous and a little spooky. For Mr. Martin: How does an EPIRB compare in size and weight? Can it run on AA batteries (I try to standardize all battery appliances for swappage in emergency). And I-thought-I-might-shouldn't-be-out-in-October, but the weather broke, I had a forecast for three days of nice, I was in Tofino and could not resist. Somebody else said: "EPIRB require much longer response times (24-36 hours ?)" ???? Why so long? I really prefer same-day service when I am bobbing.
