VHF Radio
Shelly Galligan

Picture
Does the thought of having to call the Coast Guard on the VHF shiver your timbers? Are you nervous about how to work the radio or what to say? Do you know what a DSC and an MMSI are? Or how to do a radio check? In this class we’ll explore it all! We’ll tame the VHF beast by learning how it works and how to get what you need when you need to use it. We’ll also do some hands-on practice to get comfortable making calls.

Shelly is a registered nurse with 25 years of experience in the Emergency Room. She holds certifications in Emergency nursing, trauma nursing, advanced cardiac life support, and pediatric advanced life support.  Shelly grew up racing and cruising on a classic wooden Q boat. She was away from sailing for a lifetime, and has returned with gusto. She has her USCG 100 ton Masters License and now specializes in tricky boat deliveries. Most recently she has delivered boats from St Thomas to Florida, Panama to Tampa, and Hawaii to California. Shelly is passionate about life on the water, and life in general.
