Yesterday, we did two rescues. The first was two people who proactively called us because they were running low on fuel. We took them 100 litres and they got to enjoy the rest of their day. The second was search and rescue after an EPIRB went off. The two people involved were plucked from the ocean by helicopter after using an eski for flotation.

Please join your local volunteer marine rescue and always take an EPIRB when out on the water.

A bit choppy (2m swells) on Saturday, but a great training session.
