USN Sailing vessel Invincible

[Mark]

2250 Tonite US Navy Sailing Vessel "Invincible" motoring thru C+D canal has water taking on and is stopping at the old Schaefers Canal restaraunt on the Canal with CG Group Baltimore CH 22A 157.100 after sw from CG channel 16.
Mentions another Navy vessel in area to assist and I heard both ships on 157.125 boat to boat.
2303 local 157.100 Invincible mentions sister vessel behind us and docked as well,"We were taking on diesel fumes and water etc". Now safely docked at Schaefers and assessing situation.

Nice to see basic sailing is still big part of the Academy.
