Let’s move on to General announcements. Any general announcements?.
Don’t make the following announcement every day – twice a week is sufficient] Please note that in this area VHF channel 22a is the cruisers’ hailing channel. When you move off to another frequency, you should stay off of VHF channels 16, 17, 18, 23, & 71 for normal chatter. VHF channels 17 and 18 are Manzanillo vessel traffic, channel 23 is water taxi aquatico 24/7, channel 71 is a new water taxi service. Please use low power on channel 21. Also, while the cruisers single-sideband nets are on between 7:45 and 9 am please refrain from using Winlink or Sailmail.
Local assistance or services offered or needed.
Treasures of the bilge. Anyone have anything to swap of trade? Remember we cannot sell anything in Mexico, we trade for "coconuts".
Open category - Is there anything I forgot or you would like to back up to? Anything else for the net?

Can we close with trivia - anyone have any joke or thoughts for the day?
We are in need of a net controller for tomorrow. It’s easy and fun. We have net controller guidelines and can give or e-mail one to you! Any volunteers?
That’s the end of the Cruisers net for today. Please remember to switch back to low power. Thanks everyone - this will be [Boat’s Name] clear. Channel 22 is now open.
