Correct scuddrunner, clearly MillionMonkeys disagrees due to a lack of Basic Naval Knowledge (sailing within visual sight of Islands versus Ocean navigation) and Basic Radio Communications Knowledge (result if not rescued minus MillionMonkeys that won the Darwin Extinction Award).  

Something I forgot to mention, because so routine, I though everybody would know as common knowledge from experience, Minimum of Routine Scheduled Daily Radio Checks, Crew of Boat at exact time and every day do a Radio Check, stating name of boat, exact location (if your GPS and or antenna fails, you're lost (dead) if do not know basic Navigation), time (with Time Zone) and date (do not use numbers for month).  U.S. Coast Guard used to have a Form for this and Instructions.  "CQ, CQ, this is ___________, Radio Check, Location___ degrees, ____minutes____seconds, Latitude, ____degrees______minutes_____seconds, Longitude,  1300 hours GMT, January 1, 2017, Over. U.S.CG, Roger, _______, Loud and Clear, Out.
