[Paddlewise] Kayak Rescue off Hawaii

Kevin 

Writes ver batim

"A man was rescued from his red kayak, some 120 miles off Hawaii Island 
after
his power boat went down.  He had drifted for some two days, even though 
he
managed a 911 call to the Coast Guard as his vessel sank.  The CG pointed 
out
that if the guy had had a functioning EPIRB or VHF, be would have been 
rescued
in a matter of hours instead of days."

close & handy?
