Safety Equipment & Communications:

I carry my own satellite communications, which allow text conversation to/from land and can be set up to automatically send a position update at set intervals to a group of email addresses or phone numbers. This keeps you, your family & friends in touch with where we are, and through text conversation.
Generally I carry two offshore 'hazardous duty' lifejackets, two strobes, two sets of body harnesses and tails.
