Both would probably be held responsible. As to the VHF, sometimes on
weekends and during derbies the VHF is turned off, there is so much bad
talk on 16. Swearing, racist comments, etc.


Besides, realistically, unless the small boat had a 100 watt amp and
external speaker system attached to the radio, he would probably never hear
the call in a small, open, boat clipping along as seen in the film.
