Gold Coast Cruisers Net

19° 11.7′ N · 104° 40.7′ W · approximate

The morning VHF net that ties the Costalegre fleet together — check-ins from south of Puerto Vallarta to Manzanillo, with weather, tides, local announcements, lost and found, and the French baker's run.

Practical

Position approximate: hosted from the Barra lagoon. VHF 22 at 9:00 am, Monday to Saturday in the high season (Noonsite 2019); a later report gives 9:00 am to 9:30 am, run by volunteer net controllers. In 2009 the net ran 8:00 am to 9:15 am covering Barra, Melaque and Tenacatita — times shift by season, so listen in. Remember that all VHF traffic is public.
