Hi Peter and all,
Right there... wazzup with this dependence on cell phones? Maybe they
think they work everywhere? "It's a radio? Nah, it's a telephone!" I
guess they never heard the word "radiotelephony" in their lives and
nobody explained that "wireless" is the original word for radio. Anyway I
like that name Audrey 2, FEED ME!
Well you lost an ultralight, we lost a surfer. That's the windup of that
story, no pizza in the recue basket.
As for mrine radio you're right, a quick call on channel 9 would have
rendered assistance by any nearby craft. I wouldn't use 16 however, it
wasn't a mayday. So didn't someone make sure there were new batteries in
the HT??? Somebody needs a hit on the head with a spare battery pack!
Maybe we should drown the rabbit while we're at it too and replace him
with Murphy. What happened to that truth in advertizing law? Rabbits are
prolific, batteries aren't.
