Rescuers answer call for help

Volunteers from Marine Rescue Central Coast received a call for help on Saturday, December 7, from a six-metre Haines Water runabout with four people on board.

The call was made at around 11am, with the boat stranded at Noonan's Point with water in its fuel.

Skipper Al Morris and his crew of Mark Sheehan, Paul Hanlon and Karl Liepa aboard rescue boat Central Coast 20 towed the vessel to the ramp at Pretty Beach.

Early in the afternoon of Sunday, December 8, the rescue crew were further tasked to assist an 8.4 metre yacht in difficulty in Hardys Bay.

The two people on board had been out sailing but on their return, their motor failed at the entrance to Hardys Bay.

Central Coast 20 towed the yacht to its mooring.
