I just got the phone with towboat US.
00:02
They have about a 45-minute ETA heading out to the boat. I advise them about the small IRV that's floating in and to advise the RO of the boat that they're responsible for that as well. Copy thank you. I'm in coordination with one Sam regarding securing the inflatable and OB.
00:28
Station, you copy.
00:33
Sam, thank you.
00:34
I just wanted to touch base regarding the dingy washing in and to see if you need additional resources.
00:41
Well,
00:44
I don't believe so.
00:46
With Rescue West update on T1, and then I just hopped up to the tower with denim,
00:51
the boat looks...
00:54
Not restable.
00:57
The inflatable portions look like they're completely deflated.
01:01
It does look like it's kind of floating northwest at this time, so I don't believe it's going to become a hazard for any of our beach patrons this evening and unknown where it would really come into shore.
01:15
I wouldn't even get really a gas based on the currents outside.
01:21
If it's not entered the surfline at the time, then it doesn't appear that it will.
01:29
That's correct. It's actually going to northwest.
01:31
Currently, it's probably 40 to 50 yards west of the pier now.
01:42
Copy back. Good info, thank you.
01:48
And fourth down from Obiege's info, there are some cappers out at the pier,
01:54
so I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on the beach by like 9 p.m.
02:05
Copy that.
02:07
Rescue West from this up.
02:19
RescueS,
02:22
if you're able,
02:23
can you grab contact information for the owner of the vessel.
02:28
Jayhaw wanted it to have on file for their records.
02:37
I believe we set that in fellow enforcement.
02:50
Paper and Fort Sam has that information.
02:57
Dispatch copy.
03:03
And dispatch, Fort Sam.
03:09
Dispatch, go ahead.
03:13
I've seen communication with one, Sam, and it's unknown at this.
03:19
Dean is going to make it to the beach or what time it will.
03:22
So you advise Jayhawk that it's currently a slope and a hazard.
03:26
It's currently heading northwest.
03:33
About even with Ocean Beach beer.
03:41
This flash copies already contact Jayhawks.
03:46
And for Sam, before I re-contact them, do you mind shooting our call into dispatch tower to get the owner's info? So I can pass along as well.
03:57
Take her.
