The BEST way, and the preferred way to call the Coast Guard in an emergency is on Marine VHF Channel 16. Having a cellular telephone is a good thing but these do not always work. Get a marine VHF radio for your vessel or paddlecraft.

Author Mechanicsville, Md. (September 10, 2012) ─ The Maryland Natural Resource Police (NRP) responded to the scene of a fatal boating incident at 8:45am on 9-9-12, approximately one mile south of Sheridan Point in the Patuxent River. Lewis Jack Sprouse, 29, of Harwood, Md. was fishing a trotline for crabs when his foot got tangled in the line and he was pulled overboard, striking the boats propeller.
After Sprouse was pulled into the water, witnesses said they saw the boat going in circles then coming to a stop after his body struck the propeller, stalling the engine. Sprouse was the driver of the boat, a 17-foot Mako. His body was recovered by Charles County dive team.
