Mission Bay Harbor Patrol, Mission Bay Harbor Patrol, go ahead with your traffic. Yes, unfortunately, I've got a problem over here. I'm at Dana Landing and took off fishing this morning. I got to pull the truck and trailer out of the water and it got impounded. I need to go locate it up in Claremont. I was wondering, I'm on the inside of the dock here in Dana. It's okay to leave for a while while I get the truck recovered. Skipper, can we switch over to Channel 12? Meet you over on Channel 12.
