Default Protocol for entering marina

Try on VHF channel 9 or 16 when you are in sight of the marina. If

Sometimes they're on channel 13 or 9; but most marinas in the US seem to
monitor 16.

The USCG is also monitoring and will interrupt you if you start chatting
on Ch 16. They're a lot more touchy about this than they used to be.
