Are You Monitoring Channel 12?
The note from Safety Officer Phil Rademan below refers: Following a discussion with Port Control recently I have been instructed to request that all Skippers please monitor their VHF radio’s (CH 12) from the time that they board their vessel, as frequently Port Control gives a blanket clearance to all yachts to leave the Port only to have the channel blocked by 3 or 4 yachts that were not keeping a listening watch on channel 12 and then requesting clearance to leave the Port.
