It’s a small world, after all.

Except when you’re on
the ocean in a boat.

Then the world can feel
very large, and you can feel
very small.

Staying connected with others then is a good idea.

DeLorme inReach can keep
you connected like nothing else can, the company says.

The inReach is the first-ever affordable, two-way, satellite communications device,
it says.

“Affordable, two-way, satellite communication has arrived at the ends of the earth – and everywhere in between,”
the company says.

Two-way emergency communication is a main feature.

With other affordable devices, an SOS signal can be sent.

But you never know whether the signal is received.

With inReach, the person on the other end can let you know.

Text messages and e-mails can be sent and received,
and social networks can be updated and read.

Friends and family can also see your route.

“Turn it on or off at a whim,” the company says, “and ensure that your route is known.”

Use it to aid rescuers, make maps “or just to provide a measure of authenticity to your travel stories or adventures,” it says.

People can ping your inReach to see your latest location.

The inReach is the size of a smartphone, but built to be more durable.

It’s waterproof, buoyant and impact resistant.

It’s an affordable, remote satellite connection.

You might feel awfully small when bobbing on the ocean.

But the inReach can help with that.
