My crew and I (a young swiss couple were exploring uninhabited islands in remote South Pacific. We were hanging off the lee side of Flint island for about 2 weeks, and suddenly woke up in the wash of the reef at 3 am. The boat was immediately thrown up onto the reef. We activated the Epirb and sent emails to my contacts apprising situation. Copas/Sarsat informed JRCC junea ak, who in turn informed JRCC tahiti and we were able to communicate via sat email with them. They dispatched a French Navy fisheries patrol vessel which arrived 3 days later and plucked us off beach.
