Zen.
With the rough seas this past weekend and using the sausage, it was only a matter of momments till the boat has seen me. My dive partner was already back on the boat and told the crew I was missing.
As for being far from the boat, I would say I was about 200 yards away at the most.
Anyways, by using the sausage, the crew can be able to see you pretty far away with no problems and that is why I did not worry when I was located right away.

Showboat, how easy was it to locate your boat when you surfaced, that is, how large was the boat in your view at this distance, and was your signaling device still easy for the boat crew to hear? Seems like you could have drifted away entirely from reading your post-woe! zeN||
