Right on, Joe. Since I got my nice handheld, I listen to it in the cockpit.
Scan 16, 9, 22. Better than TV. Lots of funny stuff, some serious too. On
Sat., wind was 10~15kts, a sailboat called for a tow because he ran out of
fuel. booby?

I'll never understand creeps like Scotty Potty who get their jollies by
listening to the disasters on the radio.

Umm Bubbles, my understanding is that it was a securite call

Scotty recently commented that it was "fun" to listen to a boat that had
run
aground. I said "wonderful" to his horrific pleasures and the scumbag
was
totally busted.
What an asshole Scotty Potty is.

Bobspirt,

I too often listen to 22 alpha to hear of the lubbers in peril on the
sea. Some of it has me ROTFLMAO. Some of it is serious and worth
listening to. On a lonely late hour watch it can be very entertaining.
One of my favorites was a boat taking on water thru the head here in
the bay. On all securite and
Pon Pon messages you need to listen.

Its amazing what some lubbers think an emergency is.

And is wise to scan 22 perhaps you might pick up a signal offshore
that is to weak for the USCG to hear.

During really fast big heavy squalls here I usually swith to 11 and
listen to all the barge and ship traffic. Usually no one is hurt but
you hear some great sea stories.
