Thank you for the quick response. The whole family from the S/V ODYLE is safe, visiting in the US.

By the time Barry showed up in the Marquesas, I thought the FP authorities might cite him for farming mussels without a permit!

All that stress, when all he needed was a satellite communicator to send an all-is-well message, or text someone in real time. They would have also been able to see his exact position on a map. Would have saved the rescue teams a lot of money as well.

He has since installed an ICOM HF SSB.
