EPIRB and sling stirrup
Posted by: fastyak on Oct-07-12 1:48 AM (EST)

When I take my folder to the Caribbean, I carry an EPIRB since there is little land and a lot of water. If you are not 100% confident you can reenter your kayak, consider a paddle float and a stirrup sling and practice self rescue a lot.
