SOS at sea.... OR a false alarm? (ep 291)

A few minutes after leaving Wakatobi an alarm started beeping loudly. I thought it was something relating to my boat for a minute until I realised it was an AIS Safety Warning, an alert being transmitted by someone in distress.
It was 6-7nm out of my way and there were two ships passing the area much closer but when I radioed them they didnt seem concerned and said they'd "monitor" the situation. That didnt sound very encouraging so I changed course to go checkout the situation myself.
Hope you enjoy my video this week.
