Well I had a cell phone and a working vhf, didn't feel like waiting
who-knows-how-long for a tow. You could easily sail your boat up to the wall
at North Cape, impress everyone, then discreetly plug into shore power,
charge your batteries. We don't have a similar wall at my marina, hence,
sailing most of the way(50 feet short, actually) then coasting into the
slip. You know, a quality folding prop is a thing of beauty.

That's stupid. Other boats monitor 16, which gives them
a heads up about what is going to happen.

It's a good idea to have a cell phone, but not for stuff
like this.

As usual, you demonstrate no understanding about
sailing, boat handling, or common sense.

No. I'm just smarter than you. I could use my radio to call the
yacht club, but then everyone would hear me. I'd rather use my cell
phone to call one of my buddies sitting at the bar, then nobody else
would find out, dumbass.
