We heard a chilling mayday call this last Monday for a vessel in distress off Peter Island. All we could pick up was the USCG side of the conversation. We couldn't hear the location other than off Peter Island and we were about 5 miles away. It was cancelled shortly after we initially heard it. We heard later it had turned into a body recovery. Sobering to hear. Word around the dock is that it was an older couple on a mono-hull and the captain went up to fix rigging and fell overboard. His wife knew nothing about boating nor how to call for help. It took her an hour to get in touch with the charter company who contacted VISAR. She was flown out and the boat was recovered. So sad and scary to hear. I'm getting this 3rd hand. If anyone out there has better info, please share.
