I have seen an email/satellite relay device used  by a paddler in NWT  in
99.(Was told that it cost ~$900.)  I have also heard that the etrex GPS has
an add-on feature similar to this. Again...would suggest  that you ask at
sci.geo.satellite-nav , as the tech-heads there will set you on the right
path, quick!
You might also consider one of the inmarsat systems (satellite
phone)..pretty pricey though. There is some info on them at
http://www.globalphone.net/cgi-bin/index.pl?rent=Action

BTW.. where are you planning to paddle?
