TAS Force 48, boat 2.12. Yeah, Tass Force 488, battalion 6 as well. We're going to take this boat over to the Fire Station 112 side of the channel. This can be approximately 1rd, 84, once we're closer. location where we're going we want to establish a land base site where we can land this boat and continue to be wandering operation. We're going to get a 48 specific commissary area. We're going to turn around and head back over the other side. 2 from boat 17. This is FYI. The bow on this boat's punched them pretty good. It's about halfway down the bow just above the waterline and it's punched in about a foot or two. The boat 17 repeat that again. How big is that hole? And is it on which side? Fort-side server to say. It's right at the bow. Possibly a foot down. It's punched in about a three-foot diameter. Just above the water line from the damage I can see is pretty significant. I don't know how deep the crack goes if it goes all the way down to the keel. I copy that three-foot hole on the starboard side of the bow right above the water line. There's our dewatering operation helping us keep it above the water line. I'm keeping an eye on about here to see how low it's moving. Right now it's about in line with the with the rubber rail of boat too. I'm just going to keep managing it or identifying if we need to get some more water moving with our trash pump. But we already get some water out of the hose off the starboard side of the boat.
