14399... You'd think these guys running this net would have asked the
fellow all the pertinent info at the beginning. Seems the Coast Guard
wants to know what the vessels port of departure and destination were.

Suspicious is that as soon as they told the guy that his lat/lon didn't
match his reported position he was no longer to be heard from.

Coming in here in Seattle area (15 mi east). Sailing vessel "Raven"
dismasted 75 miles east of Brownsville. There is a great deal of traffic in
the vacinity, but they are uncertain of the person's location and it seems
his battery is dying as his transmissions were tailing off and people were
having a hard time reading him. His name is Lary.
