Most do, but you have to know what channel they listen to. Few monitor

Really? I've always called on 16 and then switched to a working
channel.

Unless I am pretty close to the place, I mostly call on the phone
anyway. Some marinas don't even answer the phone.

Is anyone maintaining a database of marinas, gas docks, restaurants, et
cetera, in the Chesapeake Bay area that ACTUALLY monitor their VHF radios
and respond to callers?

I don't expect 24-7 coverage, or anything like the reliability of someone
at a retail business answering the telephone, but it would be nice to know
which places actually do respond to VHF.

Thanks.
