Re: Monster Ledge NJ
Some great advice and suggestions above...
VHF, Epirb are minimums and a life raft is strongly suggested and buddy up if you can. As mentioned above, you also need to calculate your range and use the 1/3rd rule. This rule suggests that your furthest range should be a spot that you'll only burn 1/3rd of your tank to get to, the 2nd 3rd to return home and you'll have 1/3rd in reserve when you come back as a safety margin... The reason for the 1/3 in reserve is because if you're forced to run in seas your fuel consumption is going to go way down and when the tank is low, some of that fuel that's in your tank can't be used because of the way your tank and pick up tube is configured.
