On February 20, 2022, the bulk carrier 'Dyna Bulk' sprang into action upon detecting a possible distress signal from rower Jack Jarvis, who was attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean. The British adventurer, 28, from Hampshire, was navigating his 23-foot vessel 'Budgie' from Portugal to Miami when his Emergency Positioning Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) inadvertently activated, triggering concern. The alarm was reported approximately 360 nautical miles east northeast of Puerto Rico. The following morning, on February 21, the US Coast Guard announced that they had discontinued their search efforts after verifying that the EPIRB alert had been a false alarm. They received an initial report from Virgin Islands Search and Rescue (SAR) based in the British Virgin Islands, alongside a notification from the UK Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) about the unaccounted 406MHz EPIRB signal. The emergency contact linked to the alert confirmed the beacon belonged to Jarvis's 'Budgie', and provided a tracking link detailing the vessel's last known coordinates at 4 p.m. the previous day. In response, the Coast Guard issued an Emergency Group Calling to nearby vessels and diverted a HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircraft from Air Station Cape Cod to investigate. By 10:52 p.m. AST, the aircraft located 'Budgie' but faced difficulties establishing communication with Jarvis, despite numerous attempts via VHF radio, flares, and low aerial passes. The aircrew noted the lights on the boat were operational and deployed a Self-Locating Datum Marker Buoy (SLDMB) to assist in measuring ocean currents, aiding potential rescue efforts. 'Dyna Bulk', which was en route from Phillipsburg to Jorf Lasfar, also responded to the broadcast and altered its course to check on 'Budgie'. An HC-130 aircraft from Air Station Clearwater, Florida, was also dispatched to the scene. By midday on February 21, Coast Guard personnel were able to confirm through Jarvis's support team that he was safe and the EPIRB alert stemmed from accidental activation. The Coast Guard has since established a communication schedule with Jarvis’s support team to ensure his safe arrival in Miami.
