I hate to say it, but CB might be a good answer with the range involved.

Reminds me of the story of the lady who wanted to speak every day to
her son who was on an ocean crossing. FCC told her she had to have a
boat to use SSB. So she bought an Optimist, put it in her living room
with the SSB inside and started comunuicating wiuth Sonny....:-)

Yeah ? What if the vesel has run aground on a drying sandbank (or, in
the casse of Alaska, on a rock that dries out a low tide) ? The
skipper can't call and say he won't be home for dinner ?
