Subject: Rescue Me Distress balloon for safety

I just ran across something others might find interesting. That is a safety / distress balloon for cruisers. This it a helium balloon that comes with a 150 foot tether on which there is an LED distress becon that will flash for up to a week.

Interesting idea and peice of safety gear that could be useful:
