[MilCom] Fwd: [MilRadioComms] Vessel fire off Florida coast

[Allan.Stern at gmail.com]

On 157.075, "US Coast Guard Station Ponce Inlet" is in comms with
Vessel "Fishhook" that has a fire.  CG is advising the captain of the
vessel to have people move as far as possible from the fire. He
informs that a CG Cutter is en route to the stricken vessel.

The Coast Guard is asking what sort of clothes the persons on the
vessel are wearing and is trying to get a cell phone number from
someone on the vessel to improve communications.

The troubled vessel is now Southeast of Palm Coast Marina and is
drifting to the Southwest.

CG Sta Ponce Inlet comms with the vessel, with other vessels and with
a concerned bridge tender are continuing on 157.075.

Now the CG Sta informs that the persons aboard the vessel are
abandoning the vessel and making their way to a sand bar.  Two females
are clothed in red towels, one of the men is wearing blue.
Makes you wonder if this is a joy ride some politician was taking with
some ladies of the night.
