The mayday call needs to include these important elements: nature of distress, location, who you are, total number of passengers, and any known injuries.
"Mayday, mayday, mayday,
This is United States vessel Lady Diane calling all stations.
Mayday, mayday, mayday,
This is captain John Smith of vessel Lady Diane taking on water with three adult males aboard. No Injuries at this time.
Location is North 168.12.25; West 78.62.12 [GPS reference]; about 24 miles southeast of Cape Maintown lighthouse [landmark reference].
Mayday, mayday, mayday."
Repeat until an response is received, or until you have to abandon ship.
Once contact is made, additional details can be relayed as requested, such as:
"Yes, we are sinking. We are a 34-foot Chapparel, white hull, port of call is Maintown. We are abandoning ship at this point with one life raft. No EPIRB aboard."
