Cell phones don't have the necessary range for us real sailors
who go hundreds of miles offshore. Thanks anyway.

Neal,

I'm not so sure that you are aware of the back up that is being use by
us sailors today. It is called "Cellular Telephone" In fact, I'm not
sure which is the back up and which is the Primary? It's easier to get
the CG, Towing service, Visiting dock space etc by phone. Clearing
Customs is almost a full telephone operation.
