Another gresat video guys. i would also like to add how critical it is to log on with your local coast guard / monitoring service. It greatly assists rescue services should you ever need them.
Just bought the sticker! Thank you so much for this great information! As the captain of the vessel, I make sure that I know all the information but if anything were to happen to me it is important that the passengers also have access and know what to do. Thanks again! You two will go very far!
I'll never forget when my Grandpa took me out on the Gulf but before he did he taught me this very thing, because he had undergone quadruple bypass a few years before. Ended up having to call in an emergency for another boat.
Great video. So helpful. I've printed Pan Pan and Mayday instructions in the description above and am keeping them in my boat next to the radio. Thanks so much.
I am overseas with the military, have my USCG Master Captain's license along with other credentials, and own/operate a 50' charter boat here. You gals might not realize how much you are helping the boating community with these how to videos. When I did my captain's training, the information was always dry and matter of fact, designed specifically for the exams. You make this important information accessibly usable to everyone, and do it in an enjoyably entertaining way. Keep up the great work! You are Special Force power twins! :)
Noticed a small typo on the Pan Pan sticker example. It says “Pan Pan, Pan Pan, Pan Pan Pan”. There’s an extra “Pan” at the end. Great video nonetheless, very informative!
I suggest, that in order to teach me in a way that I can remember, you do the following. Invite me and my family on your boat, take us fishing, and after we limit out we can actually simulate the distress calls!😏. Of course I would pay for gas!
Making a mayday call or pushing the red button on your PLB/EPIRB can be an intimidating call. If you feel even remotely that you are in any sort of danger, make the call. If you have to be fined for a false call, you can make reparations from home which means you’re alive. IMO, this is a far better alternative. Always ask for help if you are unsure because the ocean will NOT give you a second chance!
Hi great video and information. My only comment is in your example of the MAYDAY call giving your position. You said "24 degrees, 37 minutes and 446 seconds North, 81 degrees, 6 minutes and 651 seconds West". Technically, seconds don't go any larger than 60. I think your radio is set up for DDD MMM.MMM, not DDD MMM SSS. It's a small difference, not more than a nautical mile, BUT in a choppy/rough sea state with poor visibility and a PIW, that mile could mean a lot. I think you wanted to report your position as "24 degrees, 37 point 446 minutes North, 081 degrees, 06 point 651 minutes West" to be correct and accurate. Again, super job altogether!
I am a retired airline pilot and over the years flying over the oceans I had my share of distress calls on the radio . Even though I had these experiences , it never cross my mind to think about these calls while i was fishing on my boat . Your video should be seen by every boater. I am sure that the majority of boaters will not know how to relay the scope of the emergency and very few will remember to give position , boat registration / name of boat , persons on board and severity of situation. Thanks for a great video .
Thank you ladies. These twins are one of my fav boating & fishing channels. They're very knowledgable, and there's much beauty in their modesty with zero profanity. I always scan channels 16 & 22a, especially when I'm off shore with my smaller boat. I also have a ham radio, with the Catalina Island repeater programmed in it. - FCC lic. K2PTL.
As a member of the coast guard auxiliary I approve of this video. Fm vhf marine use is highly misunderstood and underrated. Something I’d add is link the radio to the gps and register your mmsi number for your dsc button. Automatically sends gps information to the coast guard! But other than that that is amazing.
Very nicely done ladies. This is really good information for boaters. I'd recommend that boat owners write down easy, clear text for a May Day call and tell all guests on board where that is. (Ideally laminated and waterproof). Also, make sure guests know how to identify the position.
Well done. Especially the info related to when Mayday should be used. I heard a Mayday call last week that the caller had run out of fuel. The CG gently reminded them what Mayday is actually used for. Other boaters in the area weren't so gentle. 😊
Just wanted to tell you both thank for the priceless information and wisdom. My goal is to attain my Captains License, but it has been quite challenging going through the process. I’m starting from the ground up no Boat for sea time so I have to work on that part to get time in the water driving, God willing hopefully soon some doors will open that I can rent boats to obtain my sea-time then attend sea-school to complete everything. 👍👍👍👍
Awesome video (but you already knew that, didn't you?) A couple more things about emergency radio communications: -- pay attention, don't allow yourself to be distracted. I was wondering if 651 seconds is a thing and missed the message. -- excitement is contageous - good in sports, bad in emergencies. When others are talking with excited, panicked voices, be the voice of calm. It will help everyone settle down and communicate more effectively.
I am an avid kayaker and I always carry a handheld marine radio. I am familiar with the radio protocol of the US Coast Guard. I had to do a Mayday call off of Bailey's Mistake in Maine in 2017. I also carry a PLB (equivalent to your EPIRB) While training in Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts I heard a PAN PAN call from the Coast Guard. Since I was in the vicinity of the location I reported to the area and started to search for the vessel. A power boat joined me in the search. Most people don't know that if you here the calls and you are in the area you should go assist. Also during my training I had to cross the mouth of Marion(Sippican) Harbor. Once someone reported me as being in distress. The Coast Guard asked the Harbor master to conduct a search. They had 2 bots and TOWUS assisted. I was not in distress but was asked by the harbor Master to do a Securite call when crossing the harbor. Since I am in a kayak I don't have registration numbers so I give a description of my kayak and my location direction and estimated time to cross. It is good you put out this video as most people have a radio but don't know how to use it.
Just a tune-up on your fantastic video... Broken arm (or any medical emergency) = 'pan pan medico' x 3 (International) Mayday not heard - if you hear a mayday and the issuing (stricken) vessel gets no response, you should carry out the 'mayday relay' routine. (International) Repeat the mayday message, but as 'mayday relay' x 3, with the stricken vessels details, and add your details as the relay vessel. You must convey any response from the rescuing service back to the stricken vessel. Also - don't deploy your epirb before exhausting your DSC capabilities. You can just flip the DSC switch as-is , or you can dial in the code number (for fire, grounding, pirates, sinking etc) and then flip the switch. All information about you, your boat, your position, next of kin, your mobile number, your contact numbers etc will be available immediately to rescue services. This will alert ALL vessels using DSC radios - regardless of what station they are on - and all stations in VHF line of sight - 25-35 nautical miles on a good day. Your epirb may take 4 hours to propagate a response from the authorities and it will (or it should) generate a full, very expensive and so often unnecessary search. Overkill and slow. Far more suitable if you are abandoning ship - or have lost all power. Many boaters have been a tad embarrassed when a 10,000 dollar an hour helicopter has turned up when they have nudged a sandbank and are stuck for a few hours. Glad to see you Americans have embraced DSC though. Australians, despite being primary signatories to the UN's SOLAS agreement, still live in the dark ages, and don't understand what DSC is or what it does. :( Thanks for the video.
I have found Coast Guard almost automatically use it. I have found the CG will notify a Pan Pan no matter the emergency. Should they receive a missing person for instance or EPIRB they automatically address Pan Pan. However, the information is invaluable if you are making the contact. EPIRB, Sat Phone, and Handheld are invaluable in the water or off grid for hunting trip.
I noticed your radio has DSC, but you did not go over how to use it and the requirement to get and program into the radio an MMSI number. The USCG has warned they may stop monitoring channel 16 and only use the DSC emergency call system.
Correctly using VHF marine radio initial call transmissions procedures are rarley studied. When obtaining your restricted radio operators permit does not require any such course. What I hear incorrectly all too often is repeating station calling and working 3 times for normal transmissions. You should use 2X's transmission for initial call of a potentially UNMONITORED stations. Better just once if no response call again. Then just talk normal, no need for "OVER" after each transmission. According to regulations only emergency distress, urgency and safety transmissions require a repetitive calling. This operating procedure has seemed to fester into a standard call procedure for normal calls throughout the amateur marine VHF community. Routine calling procedures require name and/ or other identifying information of the station being called, spoken once only. The three times should only be used for distress, whether for Sucurite, Pan Pan or MayDay
What are the direct frequency for marine channels 17 & 22a if we have a standard VHF radio, and do you use channel 16 for securté and Pan Pan also? Thank you so much for such a great video, best of luck to you both!
You guys are just great ! So competent, professional and so cute on top of that. Great information to put out, I'm sure a LOT of people don't know this information. Excellent public service.
If my vhf radio has built in gps. I already register for mmsi number and all setup. Do i press the gps button on my radio when i am on channel 16 and who ever monitor that channel will see my gps coordinate?
Hi gale force twins, i like your videos very much. I learn with your video for my src. At saturday i will have my exams. Make your fingers cross for me. Greetings Peter.
When you're out on the water and you call the Coast guard they will start asking you 40000 question if you have an issue with your boat you call Seatow if it's a life-threatening you call the Coast guard and get ready to answer 40000 questions

Awesome video. Keep them coming. Any chance you can now teach us the basics on how to use a handheld marine VHF radio? They have so many buttons and not intuitive at all. Thanks.
Question if your boat does not have a name or call sign do you use vessel operator name or the make model of the boat ? Every video I see they mention a boat name.
You just said that it's for emergencies only then you changed please listen to it for your surroundings to something important to you like an area to avoid makeup your mind
Can't see it going on any other channel if you're asking for help to "All Stations" - meaning anyone close by who can hear the distress call. If you are just calling a friend for assistance, like out of fuel and drifting, I believe you can hail a friend on 16 to switch to another channel so you can talk the situation.

Thanks for the free sticker girls! I bought a short to come with it. Just so you know it was a great way to help people be safe and get some marketing out there!
Subbed at first video, well, not my first video though, like 3rd or 4th. Maybe I’ll see y’all out on the water sometime! Though I can tell y’all aren’t in the Tampa area. We have a really bad red tide here and it stinks around here, literally. Congrats on 100k!
Hi Twins , great videos. You should tell where you are acquiring those coordinates so someone who may be panicked knows just where to look. How to know your position???
All good info. Since you already mentioned that the VHF channel 16 is a global source for mariners, then discuss the three most important calls a mariner can make, it should be remembered that a VHF radio call can generally be heard a distance of “line of sight of the antenna(s)” transmitting and receiving. At five watts of power transmitting, clear comm’s reach out to about twenty five miles. Of course all this depends on atmospheric conditions, as well as the height of the antenna’s.

Just wrapped up the annual USCG inspection on the boat I run and this was a great/helpful refresher!!
Thank you!! So glad we could help
Well done soooooo important to know when needed

Could yall go over the new fire safty regulations coming out , if any are new. Love what yall are doing with all the educational vidios.
Very good explanation!! Thank you!
I’d love to have a sticker with your logo next to my radio with this info.
The best explanation I’ve heard!!! Great info! Well done
nice fishing chanel...big catch n beautiful nature...
Extremely helpful and informative video. Thanks for the great real world examples and hailing sequence. Nice. Thanks
An HF radio would be a great idea
As always, great information Captains, thanks for sharing!
Love the video. Very convenient as I was going to be researching this after work. Very abrupt ending lol.
Hey Gale force love your videos keep up the good work
Awesome stuff guys, thank you

What is the responsibility of a boat crew to respond to a distress call? Can you get in trouble for not helping if you could?
like get gate force twins winnter get back too right all think a boat paul to xo
Why is the roe not consumed?

Thank you for being a beacon for the industry!!

I thought you were supposed to say the numbers like "one-eight- zero degrees" not "a hundred eighty degrees"?
The digits must be pronounced separately, for example one two six. Call sign FL - foxtrot Lima

Hello Ladies. When putting out a PAN call does that also go thru channel 16?
I’m questioning that to lmao

Don't you guys in US use your MMSI as well as your boat callsign? Or is that just us in Europe?
Johnson Maria Davis Paul Harris Christopher
What should I identify myself as if I'm in a rented vessel (not my own 'named' boat)?
I called us coast guard they pronounce it pun pun pun pun pun pun. They said pan pan is wrong pronounciation
So... what happens if your boat has no name? what do you sub for that?
Love the video! 2 thumbs up!
Well done !!greetings from Panamá very good your video tanks 👌🏽
Great information, also slow down when talking in an emergency. Many people get excited and speak to quickly to be understood.
Dumb question.. what if you don’t know your exact location?
I love you gals :-). And I am also learning a lot from you both! I love the regulator ( RETIREMENT WISH :-)
Mayday comes from "Venez m'aider" and it means come and help me.
Great information for all boaters young and old experienced and inexperienced. It’s always good for have a review like that great job.

This is a very important subject. Thanks for presenting this information in a very understandable way.
this video was informative, informative, informative. thank you.
Love these educational pieces! When are y'all going to start teaching Captain's License classes?
"Panne" and "m'aider" are the french words for Pan Pan and Mayday
Thanks for the free sticker girls! I bought a short to come with it. Just so you know it was a great way to help people be safe and get some marketing out there!
Hi
Another informative video! Im just getting into offshore boating and your videos have helped so much! Love you girls!
Don’t forget 22A is 1022 on some new radios.
Yet in Australia everyone yaks on ch 16 lol
Excellent content as usual. You ladies are an amazing resource for new and experienced boaters alike!
This is the proper official info, well presented. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you! Welcome to the channel!
Good video. Is it not pronounced "Pon Pon" ?
Sorry I’m late but I got my food ready to enjoy while I eat lol 💪🏼
