VHF Radi
o
– Chinook’s radio is located in the
cockpit for easy use while underway.
We
recommend that you monitor Channel 16
during your cruise.
It is reserved for
emergencies and boat-to-boat initial contact.
After contact, move to a working channel (68,
69, 72, 74 or 78). We listen to weather
channels 1, 2, 3, 4 or 8 (whichever gives the
best reception) before we sail in the morning
and prior to anchoring for the evening. The
islands are generally a light wind region but
weather changes can be sudden. Listen for the
reports identified as “Northern Inland Waters”
for the San Juan Islands.
San Juan Sailing
monitors channel 80
during office hours.
VHF Radio PORTABLE -
For trips away from Chinook during which you want to be able to
communicate with Chinook or other VHF radios, a battery-powered handheld VHF is be located in the
starboard saloon cabinet behind the television.
Stereo
– We have installed a Sony stereo/Bluetooth/CD audio system on the electrical panel and with
speakers in the cabin and cockpit. Please be aware of other boats when you are in harbor and adjust the
fader so that the cockpit speakers are turned off when not in use. The operating manual for the stereo can be
located in the starboard settee with the other manuals or in the Nav table. Remote is in the starboard salon
