The Importance For Boaters To Have An EPRIB

Just a quick update on the lost fishermen at sea and hopefully a reminder for all boaters to buy saftey equipment which could save your life. If anything good comes out of this story maybe this is it.

This story was written by Fox News and the full story is here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,505172,00.html

"Two days before NFL player Marquis Cooper took a doomed fishing trip with three friends in Florida Gulf Coast waters, a friend urged him to buy a life-saving device used to locate boats in distress.

Cooper hadn't heard of the gadget, an emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB). And he didn't purchase one before his excursion on Saturday, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

Cooper friend William Bleakley and fellow NFL player Corey Smith remain lost and presumed dead after their boat flipped over in rough seas Saturday."

Our prayers are with them.
