Ch 80 to CG leaving and coming back in at Depoe!I'm totally new to this but I was wondering if having a radio was required in some areas like depoe bay, im guessing it's good to have for safety purposes but just wondered if it was needed for contact with the marina. Sorry if this is obvious just figuring it out. Thanks.

Roger what radio do you use and what is the cost?I consider a radio an essential item for all ocean and near-ocean outings. At Depot Bay, the "hole" (under the 101 bridge) that connects the bay with the ocean is narrow and turns enough to restrict visibility. You are required to announce your intention on Ch80 and receive clearance from either the harbormaster or CG. Powerboats pass through one at a time, kayaks can go in groups. It is fairly casual/simple on good weather days but really important under rough/stormy conditions.
Congratulations! )A trio of firsts for me yesterday!
