  3. I saw two amall boats and a Coast Guard vessel in close proximity just north of Lincoln Park but could not tell what was going on. Last seen the Coast Guard was following the small boat south.

  4. Beach Drive Blog has a pic; adding the link to story. Our crew was just getting one when we redirected them to check out Highland Park Way tree-down trouble …
