Anyone else hear the Ch 16 call on Monday late AM or early PM regarding a boat getting seriously worried about a tanker about 2 miles away some where off to the SW of Portland?
The guy on the boat continually called the tanker and then someone butted in telling him that they didn't often listen on 16 !! and to try 13.. He did that and still no reply although Cross Joborg got into the act..
Final message was something like...
" To the tanker position XYZ I am the yacht 1/2 miles off your bow..Be advised that I am turning to Port 90 degrees and intend to pass under your stern"

Unfortunately I didn't get the whole situation..
Anyone else hear it ???

Cheers Bob E..
