Glad you made it in safe... Wow!

You saved yourself, and in sharing this you may have saved someone else.

Solo or not epirbs and waterproof vhf handhelds might be good things for the checklist.

Bought one last year from Back Beach. It's always in the ditch bag. Floats, waterproof and glows in the dark.

I have the whistle that came with the PFD.....but I invested in a couple of those small air horns you can by at any marine supply store. They are small enough to fit in the pocket of my PFD and my Wife has one also! They cost about $10 each....good insurance!
