PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 EPIRB & Currimundi
I dont go outside too much, and I was wondering if I need an EPIRB to fish the Currimundi reef and the Inner Gneerings?. I know I would be better with one, but what would the Fisheries people say?
1. If the area is defined as open water and more than 2nm from land then you will require an EPIRB
2. If you are operating in open water more than 2nm from land without an EPIRB the fisheries don't have to say anything just write you an infringement notice as they should.
According to this web page the reef is about 2Km of the coast. If that's the case then you don't need one, however never make the assumption that you're an easy target to find bobbing up and down in the water by the rescue boat. And just remember to think of the passages on board - Their life in your hands as Skipper of the vessel.
