This guy sailed into the anchorage last year in a very light wind. He dropped
anchor, stood on the bow and started waving his arms up and down in a distress
signal. I went over in my dinghy and asked him what was the nature of his distress
(as required by law). He said he needed a ride to shore because he had no dinghy.

I told him to try swimming and motored away.

Some people are so stupid.

Wrong Whorebath, it is an offically described distress signal.

So is a Red Flare
American Flag Flown upside down
Waving both arms up and down

Can anyone describe more?

You should have turned him into the USCG, what a Putz.
