There was an example this weekend on the lake where both radio and cell phone came to the assistance to a work baot.
The work boat was trying to hail it's base on the VHF with no luck. After a few minutes they called out on the VHF to request anyone that had a cell phone to call the marina and tell them to turn on their radio. Within a short time we could hear the VHF conversation. The work boat was towing another boat and it was acting up. He did not feel confident he could make it back and asked them to standby to give assistance if needed.
Radio - Cell - Radio. Great relay work passed the information on.
