What happened?

When Out fishing that morning. While I was setting my line out to fish as wave pushed my boat to its side and flipped me over. As soon as I got up of the water I activated my ACR and with in a minute I got a phone call asking how I was doing and if I needed help and my location. I told them I was fine and my boat capsized and I need help getting back to shore. I was about 2 miles out. 5    minutes later the coast guard chopper came to see me and within 30 minutes Honolulu Fire Department came to my rescue and brought back to shore.

Words of wisdom

Carry your ACR device all the time.

Thank you note

Thank you for creating this amazing device. It saved my life and I’m able to see my family again.
