EPIRB Registration
Are your details up to date ? Recently, the RNLI, HM Coastguard and Police around Teignmouth wasted six and a half hours looking for a boat which was in trouble. Unfortunately, the EPIRB device was registered but the owner's details were out of date. Eventually the yacht and owner were found safe and well, but you are reminded that you should ensure your registration details for PLBs and/or EPIRBs are current.
