A sailboat has bottomed out on its keel off the Shelter Island point nearest Point Loma and the skipper has asked nearby boaters for help because deeper-draft vessels have stayed clear. Harbor Police also moved to assist a separate vessel that has sat stuck on a jetty without power after the operator reported he had no way to contact vessel assist.
The gentleman on the point of Shelter Island nearest to Point Loma, he's bottomed out on his keel on his sailboat and he's asking a couple of guys for help. I have too much of a draft on my boat to get in there. I just wanted to let you guys know.
Harbor Police to Captain Mayday, what's his nature of distress besides he's just on the jetty, is there anything else? No, he's only stuck on the jetty without power. Do you know if that individual has notified vessel assist? He says he does not have any way of contacting anybody. Captain, Harbor Police, Roger, we'll make our way to where you guys are, we're just trying to navigate some of the bombs that are in the area. Okay, no worries, I am on the bay side of the jetty, directly across from him.
