To flesh this out a bit- I thought the call was a prank at first as I didn't think anyone would act that way on VHF. Like the buffoons who had that video a while back of the mola mola/ ocean sunfish. "What IS that thing, buddy? It's wicked huge- It must be a whale!!!" Those guys.
That's about what it sounded like.
I suspect they didn't lose a plug, as quick's is ~perhaps 5-6 miles from anywhere you can put in. But it is a very heavily traveled passage thru the Elizabeth Islands.
