How do these guidelines compare to EC? I think EC does a good job of reinforcing that they are not going to babysit you (aka "don't call us if you have a problem").

Obviously not good if you're far from shore (where an EPIRB might do far better), other boats, or unconscious, but it's a relatively cheap low-tech backup plan.
