What bus kid said. I usually keep to ch. 16 when I'm by myself and scan 68,72,73 for fellow yakers. You can announce over 16 when hailing to let someone know to switch to ch. so and so as long as it's brief. Like " (boat name) if you copy, switch to channel 68, over". Also, never broadcast from land. It's a huge fine if you get caught.
There are websites with vhf etiquette, but most radio chatter I hear is pretty laid back. Just don't chit chat on standby or emergency channels or you will get barked at
