I agree, John. We used to run a 24 mile long beginner distance race called 'Round The Bay race here on Maumee Bay at the west end of Lake Erie and had a sailor rescued by Matt and Laurie Bounds because they heard a whistle blowing before they saw the guy in trouble. Maybe Matt will comment on what happened as I am sure he remembers it better than I do since he was involved. We made the whistle mandatory for racing so we recognized the rescue at the awards partly to emphasize the point that it really can be critical to have even cheap and simple emergency equipment on board and on person. I keep one attached to my life jacket.
