I'm not going that far from land, but near land doesn't mean help is at hand. The most recent place I've been that this was true was the north west side of Vancouver Island. For several days we saw no one at all, no cell coverage, and VHF was very spotty. Even with a sat phone, getting a tow from there to the nearest travel lift is many days and a small fortune. You'd find the limits of your "unlimited tow" membership very quickly. But a weeks run at 2- 3 knots would but you near help. A small outboard would do that pretty easily, if only the fuel were available. Just need to turn diesel into propulsion some how.
