Guys,
in the boatless
wintertime I have lots of time on my hands to ponder
about theoretical questions like this:
I wonder in what situations should we send a MAYDAY and/or fire a red
parachute flare (not the little flare)?
I know the official lingo: If there is a threat to life or health....
MAYDAY should not be used casually.
this is true. if your engine is dead and you're at anchor out of a
channel, the CG is not going to come and get you. this is not a
mayday. but if you are concerned about your vessel or life on board,
you can always call the CG and tell them your situation. they will
determine if a mayday is warranted.
