I'd appreciate some feedback (especially about these two

EPIRB (emergency locator beacon) questions:
1) how quickly and reliably does Coast Guard pick up EPIRB signals and home

2) If EPIRB is highly effective, would it make sense to attach a communal

at a place like 3rd Avenue as a rescue of last resort option.
