Now is the time to outfit your vessel with a VHF Marine Radio if you don’t have one.  This is the one main communication tool that every boater should always have on board.  It is widely used for collision avoidance and can prove to be very useful and critically necessary in the case of an emergency.  You really can’t afford to be without one of these very affordable radios nowadays.  If you don’t have an emergency, the likelihood that someone you know or are acquainted with will have an emergency at some time.  If you are properly equipped, you will very likely be able to relay information to the proper authorities and aid in the rescue of a stranded  vessel which may not have this type of equipment on board.
