Two calls for help

Marine Rescue Central Coast had two calls for help on the Peninsula on Father's Day, Sunday, September 4.

Skipper Mr Brian Warburton and his crew on marine rescue vessel Central Coast 21 were tasked at around 10am to assist a 5.5 metre runabout one nautical mile offshore between Second and Third Points.

The vessel, with two men and a dog on board, reported a mechanical failure.

After the runabout was located, the two-hour tow back to Pretty Beach was completed safely.

Around 4:30pm following an urgent radio call, Central Coast 21 was tasked to assist an 11-metre yacht with five people on board stranded on the bar at Little Box Head.

Rescue vessel skipper Mr Bren Weston and his crew towed the yacht to navigable water off Lobster Beach.
