Sorry! I forgot to include this link. I thought everyone would have heard  
about this unfortunate event.

Pretty scary stuff:  a mid-morning distress call from 35 miles away  and 
rescuers "could not pick up signals from any of the survivors beacons."  
Weather was said to be "mild" but with strong winds and high waves.  
"Survival suits would have enabled those aboard to survive 24 hours at  
most."  
<snip>  
"...two empty life rafts were found."  
What plans are being made by those who will soon venture into high  latitudes 
to increase their chances of rescue in the event of need?  
Regards,  
John
