Here in Bahia de Banderas, the boat to boat hailing channel is 22. All day you’ll hear boats calling out to one another. Example, us calling Calypso- Calypso Calypso Calypso, this is Landfall on two two. The receiver will call back and suggest an open channel to talk on so that we don’t crowd the hailing channel. Some boats have funny names.For instance, Easy Lady. Sometimes the combinations are pretty funny and with her as an example, you can imagine.
One day I heard a boat named “Take Me Away” hailing somebody. What I heard was “mumblenana mumblenana mumblenana, Take Me Away”.
I had to, just had to ask.
“Did you just say marijuana take me away?”
That got some laughs!
