I seriously can't believe they don't have at least an EPIRB. If they had one, the entire "they might be on the surface" idea could pretty much be ruled out.

Yes, of course! An EPIRB!

[–] Yoshizuki@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

An emergency position-indicating radiobeacon (EPIRB) is a type of emergency locator beacon for commercial and recreational boats, a portable, battery-powered radio transmitter used in emergencies to locate boaters in distress and in need of immediate rescue.
