Wednesday 22nd April, 11:00 am – EPIRB alert received from a U.S.A registered satellite distress beacon. The alert position was local to Bermuda and the U.S.A beacon register shows the EPIRB is registered to the visiting U.S. sailing vessel SANCTUARY, which had recently called Bermuda Radio for a radio check. SANCTUARY called RCC Bermuda by telephone and advised that they accidentally activated the unit while they were removing it from its mounting bracket. The U.S. Coastguard were informed that the activation was verified as false.
