00:27
We're up at SOS and I'm showing they're going to be at Sandy Beach just by Mary's Wals. All right, that's a huge difference. We'll still go to anglers. So forth are 730 Montgomery? Are you still in the line with the 911 caller?

Top entrance to anglers. We're going to need to access this station by Burma Ridge. Swiftwater 710 Bravo to Swiftwater 730. Would you like me to go to Great Falls and come down on the towpath to that little cut through to Sandy Beach? Negative, Chad. Come to anglers. Give a couple of swift water personnel to our utility, which is running the backup truck.

Go up Burma Road to the state. You can cross over the canal there and you'll be able to come right down there to Lock 16. Excellent. Yeah, I show them right there at Sandy Beach. Yeah, the two boats from 30 will launch and proceed upriver. But with the 2-8 level on that Little Falls gauge, the best access is going to be via Burma Road.

Okay, we'll work on that. Supporter 730, confirm you want the remaining units, including the transport unit, uh, two anglers, not brickball, tavern. We just sent 52 to pay at 5. We have the utility as well.
