Let me move my motor.
00:16
All right, got me there.
00:19
I've been going down and I'm just blocked and southered so they can get through.
00:28
Okay, you got this guy?
00:31
Get them.
00:36
Someone if they get past, they're getting Whitehead, right? They're on the run from there.
00:42
Affirmative.
00:45
As long as we got someone at DuBow and Southern.
00:47
Yeah,
00:49

00:54
I think we're full up in Fleming.

01:44
I'm gonna get this car there.
01:49
She's gonna go through flood through the parking lot of La Cacha.
01:55
Cia, idiot.
01:59
You got several more coming your way.
02:05
First one, I urge Kevin.
02:11
Alex, how many more are there? I think it's going to be filled.
02:19
Who's that tall here?
02:22
We Hall is the last one coming your way, Derek.
02:30
Tribute is going past the guard shaft right now.
02:33
I think it was Wee Hall.
02:36
Got me.
02:41
On that last boat gets past you,
02:44
I've got this satellite going the wrong way.
02:47
I'm going to present it right on the Deval from southern.
02:54
Old Ventures is the last one.
02:58
Got.
03:03
Are you still in southern area?
03:07
Yeah,
03:08
I'm sitting on this car that went the wrong way in the middle of the parade, or the middle of the boats.
03:12
Can I do anybody at Whitehead and Southerd?
03:19
I'm just here.
03:20
I'm good.
03:25
The boats should be stacked from on Deval, from front in Deval and the last boat within 10, 15 feet of Southerd.
03:34
On Deval.
03:38
Okay, Alex, you said to the next group.
03:40
We guys are coming up.
03:43
I don't know how many more they're going to fit.
03:46
From plumbing, downs, or like Jack Slats was stacked already.
03:54
These are going to be parked on southern, Alex.
04:01
Let me see if there's anymore coming out.
04:06
Randall, I'm escorting this Cadillac out of here in line with these guys.
04:09
Just heads up.
04:15
Or not, never mind, another boat showed up.
04:20
Did you say Nautical Ventures was the last one?
04:23
Oh,
04:25
that last group, yes, it came by the annex, yes.
04:30
Affirmative and there's no more boats coming out of waterfront?
04:36
There's scyce on tomorrow in Southern.
04:38
No, I don't know what you work on.
04:40
I do with a mud in the middle of the car.
04:44
Is it all full there, Randall, all the way to you and around the corner?
04:51
One Suther, does anyone down there?
05:00
First of all the Souther, there's nowhere for them to go, they're stuck.
05:05
One guy's in the middle of a tournament are nowhere to go.
05:09
Cop is it, it should be pushing off.
05:13
No, Alex, he's saying there's no room left on the Wall Street.
05:18
I know that they should be readjusting them and get them up there.
05:22
I'm going to go try to find something in a white shoe.
05:25
The Power Boat Association is just let them know what we got.
05:28
What is that? One, two, three, four,
05:31
five, six, seven boats stuck on Southern.
05:36
We have no boats on Carolina if there's any bad need to sit in here.
05:43
Copies.
05:46
Alex,
05:47
the boats, I mean,
05:49
the truck with the boat at Fleming and Duval,
05:52
the guy in the white shirt directed them to stop and parked and that was it because it's filled up all the way down.
05:58
There's not enough room for these boats.
06:01
Are they parked like three to five feet apart?
06:06
He inched them up a little into the intersection even at Fleming, so he was inching them up to a parking spot, so yeah.
06:16
Copy, we gotta find somebody that's in charge of this thing and let them know that we can't fit all the boats.
06:24
Why don't we just give them this clock as others and keep them on it?
06:29
Up ten, four.
06:30
We're gonna give them as much as we can.
06:34
Yeah,
06:35
they cleared the Whitehead, so just south would be blocked.
06:39
They got 25 feet behind them to Whitehead.
06:46
Our boats are literally inches apart.
06:48
They did a good job up here.
06:53
Patty, are the boat still pulling forward or is there a block somewhere?
06:58
I'm rolling the bar right now and they're within like four to five feet every single one of them so far.
07:06
The rest got stopping them right here.
07:07
He just got a double sandwiching.
07:11
The problem is we have boats that are stuck on the other side of Whitehead.
07:17
We're planning on their part, Alex, it's not our emergency.
07:20
I agree with shutting down that block of southern to the Whitehead, but as of now, there's no room to put it anywhere else.
07:27
No, Whitehead is perfectly clear.
07:30
The boats have about 20 feet of clearance.
07:33
They're on the east side of Whitehead.
07:35
If they stand southern, we're pretty fine.
07:39
Right, there's none left the rest of Whitehead, right?
07:44
That is correct.
07:49
You check, there might be one or two.
07:55
Okay.
07:58
Alex, all the way to Fleming, there's no room at all for anything more.
08:06
There's no other boats coming out of the annex.
08:08
We're totally fine.
