I think they meant to say PLB but anyway here is what happened.Smart man.......


Coast Guard helicopter rescued four men Saturday morning after a recreational boat took on water 23 miles west of John's Pass. The rescuers were able to quickly find the men, who were not injured, because one of them had a pocket EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) in his life jacket.

Distress call in at 7:04 a.m., rescue at 7:51 a.m. It doesn't get much better than that.

I like the fact that they were found ten minutes after takeoff.
