Does anyone buy their reasoning for not using their EPIRB? If your motor is dead and your mast is broken, you don't have much control over the vessel, so how can you be sure that you aren't in any danger? If you have no control, couldn't you be swamped by a storm (as that unfortunate freighter was a year or 2 ago)? And if all of your other communication devices are dead, you won't get any weather forecasts.
OK, I'll get back to trying to envision how much space a year's supply of food for 2 people would take compared to the size of the cabin on their boat.
