Any Meridian unit, this individual that was on the boat wants to know if you guys towed the topside boat back to shore or did it take... 10-4, give me one moment to find that out. Give me one moment. We're in shift change. This is, we're not towing that boat. Coast Guard is sitting on it, and they're going to wait for Tow Boat U.S. to take it in the shore.

1986. 1986. Okay, the subject that CFD transported is in the harbor. She's refusing medical. There are actually two more subjects in the water. They're out of the water as well. They were taken in by other sailors. They're refusing EMS as well. So, everyone's accounted for. 10-4.

Nobody should be on a boat in this kind of water

@chicagoUser1925338010 20 knot gusts are okay if you reef the sails…and I believe there is no small craft advisory today. I’d be curious to know what happened.
