I have a AquaFix™ I/O 406 MHz PLB w/ GPS Interface & Onboard GPS and recomend it for your use. It's not terribly heavyc and omes with belt loops which makes it easy to wear. I wear it when boating alone offshore. It's manually triggered, and not auto triggered by being submerged like some of the fixed models (this is a feature that will cost you big bucks). I think it has enough battery life to put out a continuous signal for 24 hours, and batteries only have ot be replaced every few years if not used.
Be sure to get the one with internal GPS.
