Setting the meme of this aside, it's nice that he didn't just report it and fuck off.

I'm curious how marine emergency calls work. Maybe I'll look into it. Either way, it's nice that it happened.

Afaik you have to respond if you're the closest vessel.

Yeah? Who enforces that? What happens if you just pretend you didn't see the distress call? Has anyone ever had real consequences from doing this?

I mean I doubt it. But if you're in the ocean you probably have more of an incentive to keep that going since it could be your ass pretty easily.

But I imagine big enough vessels are tracked by coast guards in lots of areas.
