calling coast guard from a kayak?
when calling from a boat usually you identify yourself as your name and your boat name, what do you say when you call from a kayak?
i was wondering this the other day and cant find anything online. lol

Now that a lot of us have GPS units you can also give them the mark readings to help them.

Do you use your VHF or Cell phone? If it's a VHF, in the past you were required to register as a VHF station and received call numbers like "WSP7792". You would use your boat name and this number as your "on-air" identification. Not sure if you have a name for your kayak vessel, but you would at least have a call number... or maybe something like this... "Vessel: Redsledteam WSP7792" ? Did the rules change for VHF radio stations?

I'm a little 'old school', so the VHF regulations may have changed.

Ok Leo, what happens if on the same day, in the same area kayak 2, 7 and 21 all have the same make, model and color kayak and kayak 13 has the same color too but has a different model and puts out the call for help? Which one do you go to if you are providing assistance?

I'm not even good at that. Got pulled over by a prior marine(same as myself) and couldn't even get the speed reduced and I was getting ready to go to Afghaniland.
