I'm located at the mouth of the Saco River in Maine and our marina has some
thirty boats ranging from a 17 to a 42 footer, and every boat has one and
know how to use them. None of us would ever think of going out in the ocean
without one and that also includes GPS.

Hi,

I was just curious to find out how many boats have a marine radio. The
reason I fly volunteer patrols for the Coast Guard auxilary and having a
marine radio makes it much easier to provide help.

Thanks,

Jerry
