What do you suggest. Telepathy or is this some kind of back to basics cruise. Perhaps we should leave our usual craft at home & all turn up in Coracle's. I saw one for sale on Ebay this week.

sorry - I just thought that everyone shouted accross to the boat they wanted to communicate to in the Solent, or used a mobile phone to find out where anyone actually was?
Something to do owith Ch16 being reserved for Sunsail and radiochecks and the working channels being fully occupied by fishmen all day @25watts.
All the above resulting in everyone keeping their units either off or very,very low volume except when they want to transmit!

No it's only DSC sets that you turn off cos the alarm gets up your nose. Good this new safety equipment isn't it?
