Funny thing that thought had occured to me earlier. I don't even know if this thing works. I don't know the guy I bought it from. Though I talked to Winslow and they assured me it was one of their's but . . . On the other hand I've done plenty of costal trips with no liferaft at all though not the north coast.

I'm leaning toward having it serviced. Maybe I just won't have the survival gear and rations serviced till we head into Mexico.
