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."
