Night call-out for Marine Rescue

Marine Rescue volunteers were called out at night on Wednesday, January 13, to assist a wake-board boat with four people on-board at Lobster Beach.

The eight-metre wake-board boat was damaged when it crossed the sand-bar at Little Box Head at around 7.30pm.

Experienced Marine Rescue skipper Mr Norm Smith and his crew, Mr Bob White and Mr Bruce Lorking, on rescue-vessel Central Coast 21, located the boat at the southern end of Lobster Beach after being called out by the Marine Rescue regional controller.

The damaged boat was towed to Empire Bay and the rescue crew were able to return to their homes at around midnight.
