No matter what kind of navigation and communication equipment is on the boat I always carry a pocket sized GPS, a hand-held marine radio and a cell phone. I've communicated across 40 miles of ocean with that little radio. I carry my cell phone for if and when I can't raise anybody on the radio. It was a lifesaver once when we were 17 mi. offshore, and Cholla Bay Rescue wasn't manning their radio. I usually wear baggy pockets when I go fishing, so they never get in the way. Even if I get thrown overboard, I can always look out for number one. I don't want to become one of those miraculous survival stories, or worse.

I would add one more comment to the above. Put you cel phone in a zip lock freezer bag expell the air and roll it up and put in pocket.

I'm sorry, I thought that went without saying. For sure. My cellphone, GPS, radio and all my papers are waterproofed in some way before I go fishing. I learned some of those lessons the hard or at least expensive way.
