I can't understand why more people don't have an EPIRB, I haven't even got a boat anymore yet when I got a kayak I got an EPIRB. I hope it is just a case of out of radio range and they stayed fishing longer than they planned.

we are talking about a ~50ft full blown comm scalloper, not some goog or weekend warrior.
I'm guessing they had/have all necessary gear. Lets pray they are in their raft... |

Wow, this doesn't sound good. I hope it's just an out of range issue. To just disappear in the relatively calm weather we have had doesn't seem right. I hope they weren't on autopilot and got steamed over by a ship. I hope they find them soon and everyone is ok.  |

It might be the meds, but maybe you shouldn't speculate on something like this until the facts are in.... |

If there was an epirb would they be missing? Once again an unneccesary attempt to do nothing but provoke me. If you haven't noticed I tend to speak my mind and attempts to quiet me by making mountains out of mole hills tend to have the opposite results. Attack the message not the messenger.

About any of the information, EPIRB, range, weather. as was pointed out, it wasn't calm, and it was a full commercial boat w/ all the gear.
There is a difference between speaking your mind and speaking out of your #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& |
