When Rick Rodriguez's sailboat collided with a whale in the middle of the Pacific Ocean earlier this month, it sank within about 15 minutes.But not before he and his three fellow mariners had escaped with essential supplies and cutting-edge communications gear.One was a pocket-size satellite device that allowed Mr. Rodriguez to call his brother, who was thousands of miles away on land, from a life raft.
