[PUP] What if your epirb goes off and nobody cares?

[David Law]

Peter, first let me say, I am from Ireland and have lived in Singapore for 14 years, I also own a business as an agent for Coal from Kalimantan Indonesia so know a little about the place, Firstly I am sure you set off an Epirb you will get noticed as there are only 18,000 islands in the Indonesian Archepeligo so which one was this person near ? The infrastructure of 200 years ago would that be arround 1776 ? and  also if the USA is so vigliant how do all those drugs slip past the ever watching Coast guard.
  Lets not take a single incident not knowing the conditions and put down a whole country.
  One man in a boat, lets not make it like the 18000 islands are all waiting to get us please.
  Keep studying.
