An Excerpt from Kayaking’s Boldest Voyage It’s time, he thinks. He grabs his pliers and shimmies up the kayak. Straddling the bow, he reaches in to grab the blaze orange tube from the nose of the hull. Pulling out the Argos unit, he inspects the exposed jumper wire and recalls his deal with Katie: If he cuts the main wire, the temperature data goes on and the signal will be read, 'Watch me closely.' It is the same subtext as if they were climbing a rock wall together: Pull the slack out of the rope and hold on—this could go wrong fast. Should Gillet choose to cut the wire, then a simple pull of the pin on his EPIRB device would be all that was necessary to send the secondary message of final resort: 'Emergency, send rescue.' Gillet takes a deep breath and feels the full weight of his decision to alter his single lifeline. He snips the jumper wire.
