I have another opportunity to do it, and this time I'm bringing a friend since their argument was that they wouldn't let me do it alone. I also got an (AMAZING) new bike and an emergency ride so I'm ready to go to war with my parents over it if they say no!

Let attempt #2 commence!

Go for it. Persistence often pays. Planning helps too, and it sounds like you're doing a good job at that.

Take a look at a personal GPS communicator. https://www.findmespot.com/en/
I have spent years on the coastal waters from Alaska to Mexico. This is a neat item that has it place in todays over cautious world. It may open doorways with your parents for more adventures as well.
