Catherine Hill Bay Tradegdy
Although a shocking tragedy, the incident at Catherine Hill Bay last weekend is a primary focus of Marine Rescue’s work.
Our task last weekend was to sweep the coast (as close as we could safely do so) from the Mawson breakwall till we met up with the rest of the search fleet. Unfortunately on this occassion the ending was not a happy one with police recovering the bodies of three men washed up at Flat Rock.
This therefore is a untimely reminder that BEFORE going out
a) check the weather
b) check your equipment and supplies
c) log on and log off with Marine Rescue, so we can keep track of you
…. and keep in contact during your trip.
This is a volunteer (read: free) service offered to the public, so take a few minutes to let us know what your plans are so you’ve got a better chance of getting home safely.
