He'll sail the cop first. Just all the way down by the water.

01:58
Are you going to want a John Boat on standby?

PCSO Marine. That area looks pretty shallow and we're in our big boat.

Are we needing a shallow water boat?

03:09
Go ahead, unit. Hey, I'm at the beach sub right now, talking to FD.
03:11
They're wondering,
03:12
I guess their fire boat's too big, but they're signed off on our vote, seeing if we can take that.
03:17
And I can jump on if you want, if they want to take it.
03:20
Yeah, absolutely.
