I'm Chief Petty Officer Andrew Cohen, C-O-H-E-N, United States Coast Guard. I'm the Command Center Supervisor here at Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville. I wanted to speak to you guys a little bit about National Boater Safety Week and Hoke's Mayday Calls, letting you know the Coast Guard annually prosecutes roughly 18 confirmed Hoke's Mayday Calls, about 121 suspected calls, and it is punishable at the $5,000 civil fines, $250,000 in criminal fines, along with restitution for all resources used. In addition to that, it also does put not only our crews in danger and harms way, sending them out on unneeded missions, but can also pull the Coast Guard away from legitimate calls of mariners in distress. This is not to deter mariners from calling for distress or for help if they do believe they need assistance, and you will not be charged with any fees or fines if you are in legitimate need of assistance. How much money does it cost when you send your crews out? Depending on the resource, it costs anywhere from roughly right around $2,000, all the up to around $10,000, depending on the resource being a surface unit or an aircraft unit. And we just had a distress call this week, can you talk to the fact? We do not believe that call was a hoax call at this time, there's nothing to lead us to believe that, nothing in our case documentation or paper that leads to believe that. But you never found the core fishermen order for you? We have not found a fisherman order for you at this time. Something that calls also, you're not the only ones out there, you're also pulling away from local resources as well? Yes. We do use local resources, especially in our area, it's very unique. With the intercoastal waterway, the rivers, and our offshore capabilities, we rely on the counties and local police agencies quite a bit and also puts them out there and takes them away from their other responsibilities as well. You were talking earlier, because you can't not go, you have to go. Any call we receive of any cry for help, plea of Mayday, or anything of a mariner believe in their distress across the radio, we will always respond and take action on it. We've done this part of state voting, we've also done this responsible voting, is that part of it as well? The fooling is another part of that. To kind of tie into the safe voting week, I can always say, you know, make sure you have proper life-saving equipment on board. Make sure you have your personal flotation devices. Make sure you know how to use them. Let family and friends know where you're going. Always have a backup plan. Make sure you have enough fuel on board, you know how to use your radio properly, your radio works, GPS, how to read your GPS.  How many hoax calls did you say the Coast Guard received last year, and how many suspected? For last, specifically, I'm not 100% sure. On those numbers, it roughly estimates about 18 annually. And then it's 121 suspected. Do you know about how many of those were in the Jacksonville or the First Coast area? Right now, on the Jacksonville area, the only one we have is if we have one confirmed hoax, we get done in the last year. It's also got to be frustrating for those people who take their time out to go search, just talk about that, how they keep an aspect. It can be frustrating. Because everyone does this because they enjoy saving people. They want to save people. You want to go out and you want to help people. That's the backbone of the Coast Guard. So it can be frustrating. The last thing it ever wants is for a member to get complacent or something because they keep hearing the same person calling for help that really isn't helping, going out there and not finding someone. That would always be a fear of mine for some of you. Receiving complacency from that. Folks, I guess when you guys run them down, I guess probably you don't find them. But if you do, I understand what they're doing, to understand their implications of what they're doing. Some do, some don't. I've been in other areas throughout the country where we have caught legitimate hoaxes. We've had caught people with the radio in their hand actually. We've also, sometimes it's children playing on the radio. It could be your child in the backyard who, there have been responsible parents teaching them how to utilize the radio, how to use the radio, how to call for help if they actually need to. But mom and dad could be in the kitchen making dinner and they're outside in the backyard and then the next thing you know, they're on the radio, not necessarily understanding their ramifications. They may not have intent to deceive, may not be trying to mislead anyone, but they come across the radio. We hear it, but we don't know and we will respond. Are the emergency channels there for a reason? Yes, yes. Can you explain the difference between a hoax call and a suspected hoax call and how you define that? To lead to a hoax, we look at it as there's intent to deceive. We're suspected or confirmed. Confirmed hoax call would be we catch a person in the act, catch a person afterwards and they admit to it. Someone sees them, usually as a lengthy investigation. A lot of times we will work with the FCC to help us locate members, local law enforcement, Coast Guard investigative services and it's usually catching the person and then pursuing criminal aspects against them. Suspected hoax is, everything's leading up to it, possibly thinking, okay, this could be a hoax. It may be we're getting lines of bearing off the radio towers pointing over land. Something along those lines could be what's said in the call possibly and it's not really adding up things along those lines and then suspected hoax would be something where we're still searching but for our case documentation we're calling it suspected hoax. Anything else you'd like to say? Just like to remind all mariners to be safe on the water. Memorial Day weekend is coming up. It is a high boating weekend. Come to Florida. Take your personalization devices with you and practice safe boating please.


It kind of feels like if you were to put rocks in a blender and sit in it rocks in a blender and sit in it Yeah, and you sit in the rock That is the weirdest thing I think I've ever heard someone say Yeah, but it's true. If you write it it makes sense Has anyone ever heard that before?   I'm not ready. I'm gonna win. I know we have our fast lane. Do you want to show your fast lane all season fast lane? So we could do these ride challenges all summer But the first day it's Yukon striker We're gonna try and get a thousand rides plus in this whole season and today we're gonna see who can Outride. I'm so ready for you to ride flight deck.  I'm not riding that thing. No, I'm you're gonna lose like I'm not riding flight deck. I hate that ride with a passion going on it. You're going on it The punishment is gonna be drop towers in He hates drop tower with a passion. He hasn't been on it yet and he's scared of it. All right So we're gonna walk over to Yukon striker. We're gonna ride this thing non-stop. I will update you throughout the vlog What's going on? We're gonna get all our pictures on red photos But yeah, we'll keep you guys updated. We'll give you live updates as a reaction. See you soon So ride number five in a row so far and we're still going You're complaining already about graying out and not feeling so well Are you gonna make it? I know I'm gonna make it. I ain't riding flight deck. I feel fine Brendan. You didn't say that on the ride No We're both feeling it already and rolling on ride number five this thing's hauling today and like we're graying out between the vertical loop and the second Imelman Yeah Are you take to not ride flight deck?  He's gonna call it quit So I can't even walk in a straight line This is so bad. All right. Here we go ride number six. All right, Craig a Ride number ten How are you feeling? No, you're not you're like no, you're lying to the camera right now. I'm good. You're lying to the camera What just happened? You just blacked out. Okay. Well, that doesn't mean I don't feel good. I feel great. So That black it was like a relapse. I'm good. Oh a relapse. So ride number 11 right now. Yeah, okay I guess we'll we'll be back see you soon Oh That's us at all. He won't quit. We're on ride 15 now. We're both feeling Questionable So we basically decided this is like again, we're not gonna throw up on a ride We're not gonna cause that if we hit 20 rides and we both make it to 20 rides. We're both gonna be punished We'll both ride flight deck 10 times in a row Hopefully he loses because he's getting to his limits. Yeah, I'm getting close He's getting really close. I just got a last another five rides I don't think he's gonna make five rides, but I really don't want to ride flight deck 10 times And it's looking like we might both We might change it to We might change it to five rides on time warp and five rides on flight deck make it extra hard But we'll keep you hosted. So here's the final five rides Wish us luck. Come on, Craig. Let's go to time warp I'm not moving. I'm just standing here. Flight deck's broken. So now we have to go do time warp as the punishment. Let's go Let's go. I disagree. I'm not leaving. So you'd rather ride time or flight deck than time warp. Yes You ready to go? Remember there's always an open spot. No, I'm kidding You want to explain why we're here for the punishment? Brendan wouldn't give up on riding you So now we both want to ride it So Craig and I We're not feeling well He made it to 20 rides. To say the least Brendan And we failed Well, no, he failed. He didn't want to do anymore. No, you didn't want to do any more either. I could I can keep going. You can No, because I think I just caught a hissy fit on the camera So we came to ride flight deck and flight deck broke down So now our punishments changed to time warp. So we got to go ride time warp 10 times, which I think is worse Hey, look see it's it's focusing on me I'm better. Oh So you ready? Yes, sir.  No, why aren't you ready?   I think everyone in the right mind hates this thing But we promised the viewers those are what that's what happens after you write it look like that Don't look like that.   That's yeah, I was getting choked by my restraint while being like head bang Like there's no tomorrow.   If you ride it it makes sense Has anyone ever heard that before rocks in a blender and you sit in it Brought number two on time work I can't believe I'd ever thought I'd say this but I hope flight deck opens. I really do Do you just said you hope flight deck opens?  I Mean, I don't know what's worse. I really don't it looks like flight deck might open soon So it might be a 50-50 split between time or mid-flight deck It's not a 50-50 split One and we stay here. If not, I'm going home.  This is fast lane Oh great. You can die quicker. Right? I'll be ready music on the end the vlog. Bye Ride number two Brendan saw more like a little girl in my life than on this ride. What do you mean little girl? Re-enact it No, do it thing is he's literally not lying. I'm not even wrong. That's exactly what I hear. Yeah, he ain't lying I'm not feeling good. I'm feeling really ill. He's feeling really ill. We just ate after Filling our Yukon striker competition. We both couldn't outdo each other. We were too stubborn So we're both being punished now for being too stubborn You might have to call it quits on this the punishments literally killing us we're going on ride three now There's nothing No, I can't you can't what ride it. I don't like it You don't even I don't even hear a peep out of you when we're on this thing Yeah, because I don't want to scream if I'm gonna scream. I'm gonna save it for something. That's worth screaming for And what would that something be? That's worth screaming for Yukon striker, okay Our backs hurt his backs hurting My backs hurting we're getting weird looks from the ride ops I swear the ride up looked at us and she was like you're riding this again So flight deck looks like it's reopening We're gonna go ride ride number four on flight deck again. We're gonna split this up between the two We're really gonna get we're trying to get 10 I close my eyes It's everything spins At least they're spinning I close my eyes. I feel like I'm six feet under All right, we're gonna go to flight deck. We'll see you in a sec. Okay We're at flight deck this stupid thing has fast lane to shade Craig is gonna record off-ride video of me on time where I'm gonna be a trooper and go on time work a couple more times To get off ride That's the sound of death that's what it sounds like I'm guaranteed he ain't lying but apparently I how like I scream Because I'm in pain. I guess as any wants to get off rides, so Colossal sounds like it's not a scream. It's just Noise back riders. How was your ride? No, I'm not getting in line with me right now Okay, I'm six rides between time or the flight deck on my punishment Craig has an upheld his end of the punishment. He's only on four rides Five rides.
