3rd time unlucky?

The incident the last night was to a yacht 4 miles east of Old Harry, it began for us with a phone call as for some reason our pagers failed to activite.

"Evening its Portland Coastguard we have a job for you",
"O the pager didn't go off",
"Well we sent it " said Portland Coastguard"Its to the yacht Kite",
"again" I replied, "this is the 3rd time we have dealt with the yacht"
"We know, Swanage Lifeboat has launched but communications are poor can you get up Old Harry"
"On my way"

Now don't get me wrong getting called out to anyone in distress is why I'm a Coastguard, once is unfortunate, twice ......er ummmm but three times ????

Lets say the matter is being looked in.
