Yeah....in Bimini everyone uses Marine radios to communicate. You want a cab....they call it on channel 68. No real point in even TRYING to police it.....why they would even try to limit the channels designated as "non-commercial" is beyond me. But it is good to know what each channel is for, and ensure you aren't using a restricted channel.
@Five Faces unless of course the infinity pool is within 3 miles of the water, and is maritime business-related. "meet at the infinity pool to discuss tomorrows boat adventures"
I guess as you outlined the VHF ashore must "communicate with a vessel offshore" can be defined as just anybody on the water whether they are the intended recipient or not. Either way looking forward to using my VHF both ashore and offshore.

Good to know, thanks! I'm expecting I will be using the VHF more this trip than any other boating trip in the past, including our bare boat charter in the BVI's. Looking forward to it!!!
I don't leave my boat radio on unless we are running. But we are on the canal and I hope to have enough extension cord to charge it. Otherwise, Im assuming solar charger..
