Do you have one of the Spot messenger/trackers?
http://www.findmespot.com/AboutUs.aspx It sounds like something that a ferry
pilot should not be without. The function of being able to tell where the
latest fix sent 10 minutes previous to being forced down (even if you were
disabled and unable to send a message, or your ELT did not go off) would give
searchers a place to start looking. As far as that goes, it looks like
something every pilot should consider owning and using.

I wonder why it says it will not work in much of Africa? It might not have not
done any good, in this case.

Get a 406 MHz PLB with integrated GPS. Should work worldwide.

One example:
