I like all the suggestions so far. Another no-brainer is to sail in the vicinity of other boats. I usually keep a waterproof VHF radio clipped to my tethered PFD. West Marine seems to have a nice Icom HT on sale for $109. Heck thats less than the PFD.

I usually would tow a bunch of polypro with a float on the end of it. 30-40 feet. Had a quick release on the swim ladder...simple yank would deploy it.

no smart alec jokes about the simple yank.

Thinking about trying it alone this coming year. Installed an autohelm last year, next year lazy jacks. Already have the requisite auto-inflatable PFD. But have not figured out the best way to get back in the boat if I happen to fall in and the boat is nearby. Any thoughts, suggestions, experiences? John Jennings
