There-in lies the rub... the binocs will not "lock" on your survivor. You want to be a few hundred yards off, slightly off over the bow, but not to the point of a 90 relative angle to the conn. Something between say 30-45 degrees, but actually, preferably to the port side, so 315-330. That give you good visibility, and somewhat mitigates the boat rocking. Aim the binocs in the approximate area, and as the boat and pilot bob up and down relative to each other, you will see the cross hair in the binoc turn from red to yellow (or is it the other way around??)... anyway, when the cross hair changes color, that's when you click the Life-ring menu button - but you do have to be on the full Bridge view to get that menu button...
