  We were notified by dispatch that a boat was taking on water, and it had lost it steering. we were patrolling by vehicle near the area.  We saw the boat on the shore of Pelican Point.  We called another officer to bring the boat over to pull it off the shore and tow it to Pelican Point Marina.  two officers were in the boat, and I was on the shore.  They tried to throw the rope with a type IV to float to shore, so I could hook the beached boat to it.   The waves were to big.  The patrol boat was drifting fast than the rope, and it kept going under the patrol boat.   We decided to wait to the next day to pull it off the shore.  The next day at 1230 hours, I called operator to tell him that we were going over to pull the boat off the shore.  operator stated that he had already gotten the boat off the shore.
