FYI from our SFBA site; and it's a good idea to store the CG's Search
and Rescue (SAR) Hotline # in our cell phones, as they can immediately
communicate with all the SAR Stations/assets in the Bay Area. For those
who carry VHF handhelds, Channel 16 to communicate with the CG, and to
directly contact the larger ships (tankers, freighters, etc.) bearing
down on you in the Bay, they generally monitor Channels 13 and 14.

                      Windsurfing Emergency Rescue

                         Emergency Dial: 911 or
               US Coast Guard SAR Hotline: (415) 556-2103

1.Identify who you are & the number you are calling from. Stay by the
phone and keep the rescuers informed as the situation progresses.

2.Describe the person requiring rescue & provide a name of someone
knowing the person.

3.Maintain visual contact & report changes in location or success in the
rescue effort.

Special Note: The Coast Guard initiates a full search whenever they
determine a rescue is needed. This results in very expensive resources
being dedicated until the missing/distressed person is found. Too often
the Coast Guard has searched through the night for a windsurfer who has
made it safely to shore and was at safe home. It is important to
follow-up with the Coast Guard if you have been the cause of an
emergency call.
