2) Wait till the drifting boat crashes into the cliff? What??? No.
Make the
mayday call immediately, then get over there and do something, if
possible.
Unless the CG is right around the corner, they may need 9 of those 10

minutes to arrive.

The question is if you know you can get there before they crash and
just tow them back, do you need to alert the force? Will they come and
say: You idiot, why did you call us?
Also you can just call CG and tell them on channel 16 whats going on.
Mayday would attract others.

Maybe someone else has a boat that can get there faster, especially through
rough water.
