Just eeking out the last of this rather strange summer.

Was today an endless succession of pan pan calls as well? Yesterday was.

Seemed to be. We heard one for an engine fire. Unfortunately, whoever made the call couldn't give their positon for ages. All ok in the end I believe.

Yes we heard that call go out (unless it was another) Chap was shouting he had smoke billowing from his engine room but couldnt see flames. I went out round IOW on the "round the island" race. That was a busy day for Maydays with just constant calls from help coming up

I suppose there but by the grace of.....(whatever denomination) go any of us! Thank goodness for Seastart also!

There was one for an engine fire on Saturday as well-same sort of thing. I lost count of the pan pans after the 4th.

There were some serious idiots out there too,-did anyone else hear Solent Coastguard reprimand the guy who was being awkward about identifying himself for a radio check?
