Sos dan buoy
Well I thought the WISH LIST was the best place to put this because:
I WISH I could find one in Canada. I WISH I knew the cost. I WISH I could find a place to go buy one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV1v_XSQbvY I think it's a great idea but it appears I may have to go to Australia to buy one.

Nice
Sure looks slick....the best thing I like about it is the visibility of it. Can`t help someone if you can`t find them.

Wholly crap, these are expensive....
The SOS DAN BUOY is AU$299 but the shipping would cost from Australia but considering the alternative here it's a bargain even so. I'm still trying to find a company here that sells them. www.victory-products.com in British Columbia advertises them but their search can't find them and so far they don't like to answer Emails.

Something to keep in mind. Have to be sure it won't blow away. MOB on a nice calm day is one thing....the boat is moving slow, the seas are flat, wind is down. It`s really becomes a problem when waves and swell interfere with spotting the MOB. If we were to throw something in the water and it doesn't remain in a general proximity....you end up chasing a shiny bouy or liferaft...not much good if the MOB can't get to before it's gone.
[YOUTUBE]vQ4QWIvH_Ec[/YOUTUBE] could you imagine a small blow up life raft thrown of the back of my boat in the video...it would be gone in seconds in that breeze an no swimmer would catch it. ...or this one...if the MOB marker has too much windage it will move fast. [YOUTUBE]W21dQq9p1EE[/YOUTUBE]

My dive instructor advised that we purchase the cheapest weight belt we could find, the cheaper the better and no knife or other gizmos were to be attached. That way in an emergency situation there would be no financial consideration when making the decision to ditch the weights and bail.
I'd be inclined to apply the same rationale when choosing a M-O-B system. Tossing a $150 M-O-B pole with a $100 horseshoe buoy attached might be done quicker than a $1K package.
