Nuthin to the east
Nuthin to the west
A first on the Magothy for me.
I got to the boat around noon, to get some measurements, clean up a little, etc. I switched on 16 and twenty minutes later the USCG came on with a pan-pan alert: an EPIRB had been activated on the Magothy.
The CG gave lat/lons but no LOPs on a landmark, so I really had no idea where, on five or six miles of navigable river, a vessel with a beeping EPIRB would be. Decided to, at the very least, row out into the river where I could get eyes on past Dobbins out to Mountain Point and back up to Cypress and Arundel creeks, I saw nuthin' and there were plenty of powerboats transiting the river who were capable of rendering assistance.
Got back to the boat (after a non-productive troll with a shad-dart and paddletail) and kept the radio on. At approx 1400 hrs the CG came back on and issued a cancelation - the EPIRB was a false alarm. Good news for all.
