[quote=catmodding]On the T we carry a waterproof bag like this.

It sits at the mast foot , between the tramp-pockets and is attached there by 2
velcro strips, push/pull style so it won't move around the tramp.
The other attachment is a lanyard long enough to let it almost fall
in the water when the T is over. (not very often)
When the T is over. it wil fall down by its weight and act as a grab-bag.
Apart from luxury items like beer cans, lunch and sun blocker there's
a small toolkit, spares, medical kit, flares and a Standard Horizon VHF in that
bag.
On my PFD I carrie a waterproof cellphone, a flare and a smoke-signal.
Our lake is big, but has cellphone coverage everywhere.
The Standard Horizon is waterproof and gets its check every 2 weeks
or so.
So, there's tons of ways to store you're vhf on the cat or on the body,
just make sure it is waterproof or in a waterproof bag.
Given the fact that a HH Vhf, a few inches from the water doesn't perform
that good range-wise, a waterproof cellphone would be a option,
depending on the area you sail.
