#RESCUE Busy morning for the crew of Lifesaver 23 #moruya 🚁. Tasked to a beacon alert in the #Bendalong area a boat located with four fishermen who had gotten themselves into a bit of difficulty.

All four winched out and taken to safety and to be checked by Ambulance teams. As a positive this group had a safety plan in place, which worked.

Always good to be working with our friends from @marineareacommand and @marinerescuensw 🚤

Then onto a search for a swimmer in difficulty at Merimbula. Happy to report all safe.

‘’They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn;

At the going down of the sun and in the morning;

We will remember them.’’

Thank you to all those who have and currently do serve.

A cracker of a day. We are out along with @slsnsw keeping on eye on things. Remember to swim at a patrolled beach between the red and yellow flags.

Also, give us a wave 👋.

#RESCUE Great team work and collaboration has ensured one lucky rock fisherman will be spending Easter with his family.

A fisherman was washed off rocks near #GardenBay just after 8am. He managed to get back onto the rocks but had sustained several injuries and, due to the tide and swell, the only access to him was by water and air.

The Lifesaver 23 crew from #Moruya arrived and winched in a rescue crew officer with medical equipment along with a Batemans Bay surf lifesaver swimming into the location. On assessing the patient a request was made the Toll Ambulance Rescue helicopter for support while those on scene stabilised the patient and ensured his safety.

Great support from the @slsnsw Duty Officer and an IRB crew and the team from the Far South Coast teams.

Also thanks to @fireandrescuensw who were able to walk in extra oxygen as the tide dropped and to @nswpolice , @nswambulance , @nswses , and @nswrfs , on scene to assist.

#RESCUE Lucky escape for a couple of boaters when their tinny ended upside down and they were thrown into the water near South Durras. Lifesaver 23 #Moruya called in for the search and perform the rescue.

One person assisted to shore by public on ski with the second person winched to safety and both delivered to waiting @nswambulance crews to be checked out.

Remember to:
✅ always wear a lifejacket
✅ check conditions, weather and ocean
✅ ensure your boat is seaworthy
✅ let someone know where you are going and when you will be back
✅ carry some form or communications in case of emergency (waterproof case always good)
