Very fortunate you had what you did and it was usable. Really glad you and your fishing buddies are OK and no worse for the wear so to speak. It has truly motivated me to put together some additional safety items to bring on every trip handheld VHF is #1 on the list and with GPS built in.

One question why was the boat taking on water in the first place? The bilge pump failing doesn't cause you to take on water? Was this boat known for taking on water and the bilge pump was relied upon to keep it dry?

Again very glad you all are safe and sound that could have ended very badly ofr the three of you if not for your cool heads and preparation.

Tightlines,
Mike
