Radio Message

Good Morning
I am not sure if this is in the right subject area. I am trying to get a message to a boat out of Puerto Escondido south of Loreto. I believe they are sailing about 10 to 20 miles south of there. They should be monitoring Channel 16 on VHF. If anyone can call the boat " MANTA" and tell them to check there emails on Winlink that would really help out.
Thanks
Rick

Hi rick...hopefully someone in Loreto who has a VHF can contact them...there is a pretty good radio net in the mornings many cruisers listen to and even if they arent standing by there...someone who is might be able to contact them on channel 16 like you said...good luck amigo.

you may want to edit and change the title of your post to narrow down your audience...something like...need to contact sailboat near Pto. Escondido.

I believe Pto. Escondido community has a de facto "yacht club". I've found it a couple times online. Maybe some poking around will hook you up with some names and contact info in order to get a message to Manta. Good luck.

FYI (a slight hijack), here's a link to the Puerto Escondido Hidden Port Yacht Club. Says they have a big lending library with books and DVDs for members and visitors. Looks like fun.
