Rescue boat kept busy

The volunteer rescue boat crew from the Marine Rescue Point Clare Base, aboard Central Coast 20 and skippered by Anthony Porter, was kept busy during the afternoon of Sunday, March 24, with three runabouts requiring help in the Peninsula area.

Two people on a 4.5m runabout needed a tow to Lions Park, Woy Woy, at around 1:10pm, due to a mechanical problem.

At 1:30pm, the Water Police from Broken Bay called to request help for a 4.8m runabout at Daleys Point needing a tow to Lions Park.

Another runabout called in around 1:40pm.

The two men on board had anchored off Box Head and waited for help until the rescue boat had completed its first tow.

This vessel was also towed to Lions Park.
