johnskipper is on a distinguished road
Only Mayday Ive ever heard at sea. Off East Australian coast sailing south into 30 knots and 2m seas- punching along pretty comfortably given conditions when received call- It was a 50' Beneteau sailing south in same conditions and had apparently fallen off a wave and split side - this only % miles out so local Coastal Patrol soon came to the rescue and took the crew off but under tow water rushed to the bow and the yacht sank
