If you just started a 4 week cruise, How in the hell can you be out of
radio range?

You're kidding right? I don't list the local and it's entirely possible to be
out of VHF range in less than a day from a vareity of start points. Use your
imagination.

In your case, entirely likely that you'll ever be out of cell phone range,
let alone VHF.

Thanks John,

I really don't think it takes much imagination to figure, Start is from
your home moorage. If you aren't there you're already in the act of
cruising.

With Nutsy though, No one is sure. Least of all Nutsy!

Damn! How did this happen!?? You've badly grounded your boat. You just left for
a 4 week cruise and now her wing keel has settled atop a group of rocks at high
tide, which you thought you'd be clear of. At the top of every swell, the keel
grinds and as the tide slacks (soon!) you know things could get worse. A lot
worse.
No one in sight. You're out of radio range. You wonder if you'll be taking the
dinghy home!

What do you do???


Extend your whisker pole out to sixty feet, and push yourself off.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

No Bob... it's NOT possible at your lattitudes.

it.

Again, location was not given.

RB

It's not possible at locations above the 65th either...... if you know you
don't have communications it's imperative to have an idea of bathymetric
topography in the area you sail.

Mooron, can you read? No location was given. What are you babbling about?

I can read just fine.... but if you are going to make incredulous
postulations involving a sailing trip of radically short distances and yet
claim no communication abilities available.... I believe I have the
obligation to request a geographic location.

Seriously Bob.... you may as well claim the vessel was on another planet!
