That call was for an "Overturned Sailboat" off of Roslyn West Shore Road.

Not sure of the details.. DJA or Brian - any info?

[PWFD1115]

NCPD Marine unit on scene of an overturned sailboat in the middle of the bay (between Port Wash. and Glenwood) PWFD responded with 1 rescue truck, 1 ladder, 1 engine, 1 ambulance and a chief. All units were put on a 13 rather quickly. 8502 incharge. Hope that answers your question.
