Rick, depending on your needs, consider Delorme inReach as an alternative (quite cost effective) to a satellite phone.
I had very good experience in a very remote area with the device.

As some of you may recall, I’m planning on taking Imzadi to Bermuda in early June as part of the Rally to the Cup. (if anyone is interest in seeing the Americas Cup, I’m in the process of lining up crew. Contact me off list.) The folks at Offshore Passage Opportunities who are managing the rally have promised detailed information in the next couple of weeks. But one of the logistical details I can handle now is to line up a 6 man liferaft, and EPIRB, and a sat phone for the trip over and back. My preference is to rent the gear, rather than purchase – though buying the sat phone might be a desirable alternative given future cruising plans. Has anyone had experience renting the safety gear I need? I think I recall that Boat/US offers rentals. Are there other sources? And is there a source that is better than the others?
