In this case, I think my initial approach would be "F***********k, Mayday, mayday".

I saw that earlier today as part of a ship disaster video
When you posted "mayday protocol" I instantly thought of that captain !

I wonder what type of anchor he was using?
Sadly, according to the reports I've read three people died as he did not sound the general alarm.
While his Mayday call was not up to the usual standard, I suspect this was very much a "red mist" moment. You do not expect a ship to break its back in a slight swell in that appears to be an anchorage.
I was told of the ultimate cry for help by the person who made it. A work colleague was at home. Heard two shots from next door, a pause then a single shot. Dialed 999 and was in so much shock could only squeak the word help. The call handler must have had a sixth sense that something catastrophic had happened and three police cars were dispatched. A chilling story.
