Radio Nets

On our Pacific crossing we started our own little radio net, just Exodus, Lady Carolina, Chara, and True Blue V.  We’ve kept it up all this time, and we have other participants come and go, but it’s still mostly just our core group.  Well, except for Chara, who is having trouble with their SSB, and they can only receive, not transmit, so we always say hi to them, even though they can’t say hi back.

We learned about a larger net called the “Goodbye Isabella” net, which was started by a group of boats when they were leaving the Galapagos.  Field Trip net controls, and True Blue V participates regularly, since there are also lots of other Aussies on it, but although I’ve participated a few times, I just can’t get motivated to tune in every day.  I really have no idea what happened to our PPJ net that was started by the group of boats leaving Banderas Bay, but I haven’t asked anyone either.

I told Alex the other day that I really don’t want to be a net controller again.  So, if anyone ever asks me, I wanted him to remind me that I really don’t want to.  I had enough of that in Mexico.
