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?
