On VHO16, we have a mariner that's staying there on a vessel,
00:04
and they're caught on something off when in Sea Beach. Do you have a vehicle that can check that out?
00:18
And can we just get a description of the vessel, and we'll have a vehicle in route,
00:24
and we have when you see, put eyes on it.
00:29
Do you have a description of the vessel for wind-and-seat?
00:37
Withcars, walking to a record.
00:39
Now, uh, standby.
00:45
And dispatch force, can we get an approximate distance, I'm sure.

But it sounds like black and white, 30-foot cabs, a vessel that's named spinner.
02:22
and they had a buoy caught in their prop,
02:26
so they have no power off Wednesday.
02:32
That matches the description of the vessel at Windsea that we have visual of the spinner.
