Were I running the radio at Cooper Island I probably would have responded with something like, "We have notified the authorities of your distress situation. They should be contacting you soon."

I doubt that anyone answering the radio at Cooper knows the ins and outs of mayday/pan-pan/securite. CaptainJay - did you see the name "Pan Pan Pan" on a vessel in the vicinity? Assuming the boat was USCG documented, I'm a little surprised that the Coast Guard would allow a vessel that name. And if it was in charter, I would hope that the charter company would have a problem with the name as well. Also, when you make a distress signal, be it, mayday, pan-pan or securite, you repeat it three times. So the correct usage in this case would be "pan-pan, pan-pan, pan-pan, this is the vessel..."

Not everyone's cell phone works every where in the BVI's.
Love sailing the BVI's with friends.
