Does any one else get annoyed by the contant silly use of the VHF, why do they feel the need to be constantly asking for a radio check. Or asking friends to come for pre breakfast capachinos int middle o't inshore forecast.

I have to confess that I have never given the coast guard details of my passages, I don't entirely see the worth in it,never heard the coast guard looking for someone that didn't teel um they had arrived, in any event I am always changing my mind mid passage about where I'm going.

Agree, I've been over 15 hours overdue twice. Nothing happened. Never told 'em after that.
