It seems to be a real challenge (Flares, EPIRB, mirror, >telephone, dye, patches). I can see the difficulty using the other things one-handed in rough water, but the EPIRB? I don't actually have one, so I'm not familiar with the controls on one, but not being able to set it off easily when you are actually in distress seems like a serious design flaw. What do you need to do to it?
