One rescue for the weekend
The Central Coast Marine Rescue volunteers on duty over the weekend of May 25 and 26 enjoyed a quiet weekend with only one request for help early on Saturday morning.
At 7:10am, the skipper of a 10.5m catamaran phoned the Point Clare base.
He told the duty operator that his yacht had a mechanical failure and sought help to get to Hardys Bay from near the Rip Bridge.
The boat crew, Jim Robertson, Al Howes, Al Morris and Norm Hill soon had the rescue boat, Centaco 020, on the water.
They quickly located the yacht that was then towed to safety.
