South Coast Rescue

[Welster]

Today’s rescue at Racecourse beach is testament to how well the system works when it is used correctly.  

It will be good when we get the full story to confirm exactly what went wrong. From the reports I read it appears the things that went right were the boaters use of the system and Marine Rescues response.

It sounds like the person was logged on had the safety gear and when he hadn’t returned on time Marine Rescue responded.  From the way it read it sounds like he was out solo, logging on would of been great assistance there too.

Thanks for looking out for us Marine rescue.   I hope the skipper is ok and makes a full recovery.
