David Hoffman cool old fashioned ham guys to rescue again.

Even though the ppl were already rescued, you did Great job making sure there was no one in danger. You sir are a good person. The world needs more of you.

Empty and abandoned...that means you could have towed it and claimed salvage. Some $$$$ for future sailing....

I was a Radioman in the Coast Guard. There are procedures that must be followed for every situation and important details must be confirmed, especially when lives are potentially at stake. Then also the information was being relayed, adding to the repetition and confusion. He couldn't just say, "abandoned vessel at such and such coordinates - okay, gotcha. Thanks." Just be happy you didn't have to tap it out in Morse code (my class was the last one that had to learn it - class of '92 - and I'm still pissed about it! lol).

Having retired from the Coast Guard they have a major flaw when you contact them. Generally you are at first talking to some 18 year old kid that may have only been in the service for two months, and as no idea how to communicate information that a salty captain is assuming the kid understands. Hopefully he will just get a piece of paper out and write things down while the officer of day makes his way to the radio to talk to you. The terrible radio situation can lead to people not getting the help they need in an efficient manor. Semper Paratus!

Thank God you didn't catch them during shift change . I lived on my boat for 6 years and only had to talk to the coast guard a few times . Glad we have them but sure hard to get anything done on VHF . You never know what you will find floating out there . Never heard anything more on the boat ? I worked for a charter service in FL. to make a little cruising money for a few mounts . Guys would rent a sailboat to try and talk their wife into buying a boat they would go out and it would get a little rough and when they could get back to land the wife would get off with the kids and tell hubby where he could stick that sailboat and they would send me to get it and bring it back . It was a fun job didn't make a lot of money got some good tips a time or two . Got to sail some nice boats a bit , got to keep all the food and booze they left on them most of the time . You wouldn't believe how much booze people bring for a few days trip . I am slowly working on two boats now . I have a Westsail 32 and a Bristol 27 just restoring the Bristol 27 and started with a hull and deck with the Westsail it has never been in the water I still need sails but Butch at C&C sails is a good friend and has done a lot of sail work for me and friends in the Houston area . C&C does great work if you ever need sail work .

Moral of the story is, don't name your sailboat "escape pod."

Kevin, thank you for this video --- it was very helpful and informative. I'm retired and just started sailing this year, in the Gulf of Thailand. I knew that I wanted things like radar, AIS and SSB on a boat, once I buy my own, but the 14.300 frequency was some new info for me and will be very helpful if/when I'm in the area. I've always thought that the USCG rescued people, NOT boats, and think your actions were 'spot-on'. So much to learn and so little time --- thanks, again....

Great work. I wouldn't have gone aboard either because who knows what kinda situation could await. Being that far out at sea alone warrants a bit of caution. I think you did great and though 99% of the time the ham operators on 20 meters are just casually talking here is an instance when they were needed and they took care of this immediately. Very impressive. The sailing looks fascinating but to be out there alone on a small craft knowing that the only barrier between your arse and the unforgiving sea is the fact that there isn't a hole in the boat takes a brave soul. You have my vote and my respect ;-)

It must be a very strange experience to find a boat adrift like that and not knowing the reason why it's abandoned....great video...

That was great, mystery and an explanation in the comments. I lived on a houseboat long ago and boat people never seem to change, most friendly and helpful. Your sailboat is beautiful and well outfitted, my dad lost his dream on a beach in Mexico because he skimped on electronics. He bought the ferrocement hull after watching it being built and did the rest himself, so you can imagine how hard that was. But he was grateful for the time he got.

Glad there was a happy end to the story. It amazes me that people go sailing in such small craft when the ocean can be too much for much larger vessels. Thanks for sharing!

Holy crap. With that kind of run around, be glad you weren't in trouble!

Most people do not realize their are still pirates. The anti gun, why do you need a gun comments are just ignorant. Imagine for a second tying up to that boat and having several guys with guns come out to relieve you of your boat and feed you to the sharks? Their is good reason to approach situations like this with extreme caution, especially if you are alone.

+Colin Sevier Agreed. And the HAM base station operators are the unsung heroes here. Without them relaying between Kevin and Coast Guard, he would not have made contact. And if Kevin was calling mayday, we'd all be listening in to help.

Who are the 362 douchebags who did'nt enjoy this so much that they HAD to thumbs down it. This man is sailing around the gulf, doing what most people only dream of. I sit in an office all day, and I don't have a boat. Kudos to you Kevin Kalden sir for living the dream.

For those wondering why the skipper didn't claim salvage and take the boat in tow, a Hunter Cherubini is not a terribly expensive boat ($28 - $39K) and this one was abandoned due to a failure unknown to the salvaging skipper thus reducing the value further. So, over 100 miles from land is a long way to do a single-handed tow, risking your own vessel and your safety, for such a small payout.Regardless of where you sail, it can get ugly out there pretty quickly. The skipper made the right decision and left the vessel adrift.

" HEY KEVIN KAIDEN " most interesting thing ive seen in a long time makes me wish i were there instead of being stuck in kansas city missouri VERY HAPPY to get to view this THANKS-4-GOOD-VIDEO ( SIR ) !

Interesting video. I can still remember seeing sailboats from time to time when I worked offshore GoM. Once our workboat found a Boston whaler floating upside down with the motor hanging by the control cables. Turned out it was being towed by a yacht and the seas got to rough so they cut it loose.

Wow this is so true. The Coast Guard is such a pain in the ass to deal with it is unbelievable. I came to the aid of a sinking vessel it was unbelievable the shit they put me through on the radio. After they came to the scene they took the people from my vessel to thier cutter. Then another Coast Guard Cutter came on scene and gave me what they called a safety check. such bullshit I received two tickets 1 for having my registration numbers in the wrong place which was not correct. and another ticket for up to $10,000 for not having my VHS license with me. I had it I just could not locate it at that moment. this was the early 90's you needed that then. I called the commandant in Norfolk Virginia and explained to him what had just happened he told me send me the paperwork to him and don't worry about anything. it made me very reluctant to ever help anyone again. It left A very bad feeling for me that I will never get over. So much for being a good Samaritan.

You Sir are very brave. So many things can and do go wrong at sea. I watched the sailing team that found the drifting boat with the mumified man dead at his desk. I'm glad these folks made it home safely. Bravo

Smart decision of the skipper not to go aboard the abandoned boat....you never know if a crime had been committed.... Thanks for the video.....

This is yet another proof that ham radio works when everything else fails. You coild probably use a newer radio with DSP noise reduction. My Yaesu FTDX 3000 sounds like VHF FM when operating on HF bands. It practically has zero noise and sounds crystal clear. Good luck on your travels.

This was very educational as to handle such a situation- granted I had a boat. I dont see me stumbling upon many abandoned boats adrift here in Wyoming.

I think you did an excellent job with the video. Also taking time to report the location. After the boat was retrieved, it was offered at $36,000. It was sold, out of Kemah, Texas. Last year a coworker and myself viewed another video, and that person boarded the boat. I always wondered what could have happened. My coworker has since retired but I sent him this video and the comment from the guy that assisted the old couple. He also was happy to know the outcome as well. Scary. I'm amazed at guys like you that go that far out,.. and I was in the Navy,.. '77-81'

NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard rescued two people from a damaged sailing vessel approximately 50 miles southwest of Terrebone Bay in the Gulf of Mexico, Friday. Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector New Orleans received a report at 3:21 a.m. from the off-shore supply vessel Lady Brandy that a man and a woman aboard the 36-foot sailing vessel Escape Pod were in distress due to damaged sail and rigging and requested assistance. Sector New Orleans directed the launch of a Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew to the scene. Once on scene, the aircrew hoisted the man and woman aboard and administered first aid to the woman for a laceration on her leg. The aircrew then transported the two people back to Air Station New Orleans to awaiting emergency medical personnel and were transported to Ocshner Medical Center in New Orleans. The towing vessel Paul A. Callais is towing the disabled sailing vessel into Port Fourchon. The man and woman's conditions are unknown.

Pretty cool video. I enjoyed listening to the amateur radio conversation.

Why wouldn't you take the boat under tow, and claim it as salvage? My understanding of maritime law is that an abandoned boat can be claimed by the first person who boards it.

Kevin did the right thing. myself, i would not have boarded that boat for anything either. crime scene? piracy? drugs? and that's without anything going wrong while pulling up alongside & boarding it. also radio transmissions are not private. his notifying the coast guard could be listened in on by others with ill intent. i don't think most viewers understand the concept of being solo on a small vessel in the gulf.

Thank you for the video. Im shocked the CG didnt hear you on the VHF. I remember in the 90's a incident. I was deep in the woods with a 2 meter HT. I was talking to a friend accidentally on a CG allocated frequency. (The CG suddenly uses a new channel) Other than channel 16. My output was 1/2 a watt and I was 20 or so miles inland from the coast. My chatter was with another on a HT with same output about 1/4 mile away. About 2 minutes into my conversation.I hear what sounds like a 3rd party with a dead key. Then the sound you hear when a beam starts to position your way. My S meter topped to the end. Suddenly I hear the audio noise get loud. Then the coastguard with a female voice informed and warned me. (Mentioned the law I was breaking, etc etc) So weeks later I moved to what I knew as a open channel. You know what happened. I talked to someone in the CG and he explained how they can instantly zero in on a signal. Maybe they were having coffee or on break? Even though they know the signal is coming from the sea. Live streaming Satellites that can a ticks eyes on a fallen seagull in the ocean. Did you have a emergency beacon or do you? Again nice video!

In 2011 HMS Richmond was on her way home from the NAG through the Bay of Biscay and we came upon an abandoned freefall lifeboat, after investigation we found it had been lost by an Italian merchant ship however that investigation took place via VHF/HF with serial numbers given before we EVER sent out a highly trained boarding team to investigate for safety purposes. Boarding that vessel would have been dangerous and a violation of another's property. You did well Kevin, and in accordance with Maritime Custom.

No giant squid? No skeleton gripping the wheel? No half naked women? why the hell did I watch this?

Quick follow-up. This was a boat the coast guards had to rescue an older couple from after their boat became disabled. The boat was later retrieved by a tow boat no doubt hired by the same couple. there's an article somewhere explaining this and a video taken off the rescue on the coast guards website. this lone sailor just happened to come across it between rescue and retrieval.

awesome adventure and awesome of you to report the abandoned vessel,it could be a trash vessel that's been dumped and drifted,someone could have had medical issues.and been inside dying,or someone could have had a seizure and fell over board and that's what's left,so many reasons to just make sure

What a sweet to travel. Love the ocean.

I do have a fondness for those old Hunter Cherubini sailboats. I spent a lot of time on one.

Why would you not go onboard? I am curious I Am Canadian and on the great lakes if we seen something like this we would check to make sure no one was there and to weak to answer or perhaps tied up or in some sort of distress but on the great lakes cold could make a person unable to respond. Here's a link to the story of the 2 people being rescued off that boat named escaped pod. My dad and I got into trouble once on the great lakes we got pined in a storm on some rocks and we lost our anchor we called for help they did not help us get the boat loose they "rescued" us and left the boat there this seems to be common practice they just let the boat go off as litter and let them sink or whatever we went out the next day to try and find the boat and the plug had worn loose and she sank we were able to rescue her and being freshwater was easily fixed.

Kevin was solo in semi-hostile open seas. he did the right thing: radioed coast guard and kept moving. as far as weather goes, sounds like you understand lakes the same way i do: always respect the great lakes, never turn your back on them, they can do everything that the pacific can: rip tides, storms, rogue waves, etc.
