Marine Beacon schematics for project

I need to build an emergency beacon so If I sink, someone will come and get me, and frankly I can't afford to sink! So maybe I should build one? I have to agree that this is a professional project that should probably be left to engineers and tech savy hackers, but I can't resist my little electroinics workstation calling me "beep beep - I am al ready to go--- beep beep" and so, that beacon could be doing some work huh!??!
I am getting my arduino ready and trying to build a sketch that taps out an SSO, and even after about an hour the battery is going to be really taxed... needs to be a solar powered capacitor circuit...
and the light ... well the light... should be optional.

Hello,

A SOS on morse is : dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot
A dot is 1 time unit.
A dash is 3 time units.
The time between dots is also 1 time unit.
The time between two signs is 3 time units.
