I don't disagree with most of the above, except it would surprise me if,
as a Federal Government Agency, that the Coast Guard had different scripts
in the training programs.
I've never heard a Coast Guard Pan Pan call in your area, so I can't
judge.


BTW ... the "script" around here is close to .... "vessels in the area are
instructed to keep a sharp lookout and to provide assistance, if possible"

The wording may not be exact ... I'll check it when I get back to the boat
and look it up along with the "legal obligation" to assist reference I
alluded to. My "stuff" is on the boat.
