One point, however, is that our lucky survivor did NOT have an EPIRB. Fortunately she did have an Argos tracking beacon on her vessel so the SAR controllers could at least log onto her website and get a LAT/LONG of her vessel for the Amver ship. She should have had an EPIRB properly registered and on her boat. She is lucky to be alive. To learn more about 406 EPIRBs readers should check out a guest post we had by Captain David McBride on the Amver blog <a href="http://tr.im/26nh." target="_blank">http://tr.im/26nh.</a> Benjamin Strong Director of Marketing and Public Relations Amver Maritime Relations United States Coast Guard This is an official United States Coast Guard posting for the public&#039;s information.
