Vessel towed to Woy Woy
The radio room at Marine Rescue Central Coast received a phone call from a distressed boatie at Tascott on the afternoon of Thursday, April 4.
The 6.4m half cabin runabout had an electrical fault and the engine would not start.
The owner said that it appeared to be taking on water.
The radio operator reassured the man that help was available and called in the on-call rescue boat crew.
Before long, rescue vessel Central Coast 20 was launched and skipper Ted Leeson and his crew Norm Smith ventured out, located the man and his vessel and towed them safely to Lions Park at Woy Woy.
