I heard a Mayday on the VHF and thought I was listening to a comedy. The Coasties didn't think it was to funny. The occupant of the vessel had no clue where they where and both their engines wouldn't run. The Tx sounded like this,.
(MV) Mayday mayday mayday this is Frayed Knot over.
(CG) Captain could you state the name of you vessel again and explain your emergency.
(MV) Frayed Knot over.
As you can imagine this went on for over 30 min. A large ship was summoned to assist and a CG Airplane to locate them. I thought I was going to die laughing.......
Fair Winds,
Bill
