[ful-rac]

Yep having a radio is a good thing, remember a couple of weeks ago me and greg saved some dude having a stroke...? He got on 16 right away and within 2 minutes the harbor patrol was there.

Last time I called 911 on my cell phone...the recording I got went something like this...."Good afternoon...you have reached the california highway patrol...all of our operators are currently busy with other callers, your call is important to us so your call will be answered in the order it was received, and thank you for calling the california highway patrol.....(elevator music)...." Can you believe that crap?

If I had a dieing man and I got that recording!!!!!!!

X2, A cell phone is useless for 911 and coast gaurd calls. Besides, I too enjoy all the radio banter.

the radio

It's Funnier than Hell when the Guys get on the radio talking very graphically about the "Tail" they got last night and then hearing a Butch Coastie/ Navy Chick get on and tell them to "Cease and Disist". Had that happen out there once and I was laughing so hard, spewing beer out of both nostrils and ears that I almost pissed myself and fell out of my Tarpon.....Just like fishing, you never know what kind of shit you might experience out there LOL
