Good advice to take a cell phone in a plastic water-proof bag, in case of emergencies like this one. Will suggest this... no 'will require this', next time the tribe decides to go on their next kayak trip.

I carry my cell phone with me on the boat at all times, and especially when I'm on the jet ski. Personally, I had to make a cell call to Tow Boat U.S. last summer, when I have a engine issue on the water, it was a life saver.

Thanks,

Great advice on the phone.. take it one step more and add the MP to your "favorites list" on your phone. make it EASY in an emergency, yours or something you witness, to get help fast. Nobody in my family uses my boat without showing me that they have a phone with them and this number is programed in. Drill it in as being as important as life jackets, a throwable cushion (with line) and a chart.

Their number is: 603-293-0091
