Thanks I found this imformative both as a paddler and as a member of our 
local Search and Rescue unit. I am looking into buying a locator beacon as a 
back up. I will continue to carry some type of flare due to CG regulations 
requiring a signaling device but i will not put my faith in them.

thanks
Bob
