SAR everywhere,

Having just got my computer back I'm able to say thanks to you all, & particularly those who replied to me ( as a yachtie ).

To be pefectly honest it's a matter of horror & excitement if a SAR helo' approaches in case one gets picked on for practice !

I think nowadays it would be excitement for me, but although we yachties do get some info, and I'm delighted to fly, know about static shocks, hearing anything even with internal and cockpit speakers is impossible once the aircraft is near.

I know on approach there's often a request to steer a certain course, but even catching that can be a snag either due to aircraft noise or nagging girlfriend etc !
