VESSEL ROCKMA: East Hampton Harbor Police. This is Vessel Rockma.Capt. Mike's Note: Another reason to keep things closed up when you are at a dock. Well, at least the crew of the Rockma will have a story to tell but. also a mess to clean up.
This call was repeated several times but, got no response. After a few tries the Coast Guard made contact.
COAST GUARD: Vessel Rockma this is Coast Station Montauk Point. Are you in need of assistance?
VESSEL ROCKMA: Yes, This may be a new one for you. We were heading out and about a half mile passed Sand Beach we discovered we had a live Raccoon on board. We are coming back in and were hoping to land at the town dock.
Long Pause
COAST GUARD: Vessel Rockma do you have a cell phone on board?
VESSEL ROCKMA: Yes
COAST GUARD: Suggest you give us that number so we can contact you by cell phone.
