Mayday Mayday Mayday
this is vessel Wait... What?, Wait... What?, Wait... What?
Mayday Wait... What?
Position 54 25 North 01 33 West.
etc etc

Could get very confusing, and I haven't mentioned if it was called Filthy Whore!!!!!!!!

Just a consideration lol
that's where my vessel is perfect! what is your vessel sir?

WHEREDAFUGAREWE!
