Sounds like he's crying from the shore. Yeah, it sounds like he's crying from the shore. So he's having maybe some sort of mental health episode or something, rain unit? 10-4.

Correct. Yes, it's the small beach. It's from the CTA turnaround. 412, go ahead. Yeah, he's pretty far into the water. The water is probably about chest height on him. He's not drowning. He's just kind of walking around in the water right now. Okay, 10-4. Marine unit headquarters, are you still on zone 8? I heard that, squad. Thank you. You're welcome. So, yeah, it is bona fide he's out there. He's not in any distress.

421, can you copy? 21, I got you, go ahead. Can you repeat that? Sorry, I'm not going to hear you. That's okay. It's the small beach just before the water filtration plant, right? When you turn in, there's a little beach there before the water filtration plant. That's where they are, just off of Lakeshore Drive. 412 has located them. Alright, I'll just pass it up.
