"DTOT, I don't ever want to read such a story about your son. A light, a whistle, even an uninvented locator becon like they have for skiers would be worth the expense."
Almost impossible .1st you have oilskins on which means the only parts of your body uncovered are your hands and head so in order to get a whistle or light you would have to stand there and strip off to get to those idems How do you do that ? . 2nd Where would you hold the locator ? You are working and both hands are busy ESPECIALLY !!!!!! if you get caught in gear and you are trying to clear yourself form what ever your caught in 3rd you just don't fall overboard just standing there
All this stuff is dandy if you were fishing in a gym or on a field but in real life it's more dangerous having most of these things around you while your trying to work .On a Sunday sail wearing your shorts , tee shirt and sandals GREAT IDEA !!!!!
But thanks for the advice .
