Busy start to boat season

On Saturday, September 30, two jet ski riders became separated from their skis, and Marine Rescue volunteers were called to assist.

After reuniting the riders with their abandoned skis, a Tuross boater with a flat battery was in need of help.

The craft was blown onto island in Tuross river and became grounded.

There is currently a strong wind warning in place for the Batemans coast, and a gale warning in place for the Eden coast.

Marine rescue is urging water goers to exercise caution, check their equipment, log on before heading onto the water and log off when they return.
