I have a Towboat US membership and just had a thought...
When I was crossing from Key West to Marco, about 80 miles or so, I didn't have cell service for much of the trip and I don't think my VHF was picking anything up either for much of the trip.
How does one call for a tow when doing these longer crossings with no service? I do have one of those personal locator beacons (ACR resQlink) so I guess I could activate that if I had to.
Is there better cell service when doing the Clearwater to Carabelle crossing?
