❤️ *SUBSCRIBE* to see us cross the Pacific Ocean and thanks to @ParlayRevival for taking me along for the ride.
Iridium Go Satellite Phone vs VHF Radio vs Garmin InReach – what are you going to trust your life to? We brought them all. This is day 9 of our Pacific passage and I go through all the emergency communication devices that will save our life if something goes wrong 1000 miles from land. Thanks to Starlink we are able to stay connected the entire time, but what happens if Starlink stops working? We catch a massive fish for breakfast and then I explain exactly how each of these devices work: the VHF radio, Garmin Inreach, Iridium Go Exec Sat Phone, Personal Locator Beacons, and the EPIRB!

David Shih
First we sold everything and sunk it all into our dream boat, a Lagoon 450 catamaran. Then we found out it had broken bulkheads which would cost $100k to fix. The manufacturer refused to take responsibility or even assist so I searched the world for help and somehow connected with Sailing Parlay Revival. I abandoned my family in Texas and sailed across the entire Carribean to Panama to figure out a way to make our boat whole again.
