A  short while ago we were able to listen to an exchange over the VHF radio between a French warship and a sailing yacht. After much exchange about courses and positions the French warship announced that they were launching a boat in order to go aboard the yacht. After a distinct pause the yacht asked about the warships intentions, which were to send 2 nurses and other personnel to assist with their disease. After the yacht clearly stated that the 2 adults and 2 children were in good health it appeared to transpire that the ship had called the wrong yacht. It disappeared with much confusion.
