25.01.2022 Two Rocks Naiad heading out on training day

23.01.2022 An old friend of mine is looking for help to do Rotto swim next year. If anyone is interested let me know...they’re experienced at the Swim but don’t have a boa...t for next year. Hi all, unusual request. We have a team of four swimmers desperately wanting to complete the Rottnest Channel Swim in 2021. We are all experienced and have successfully made the crossing before. We are looking for a suitable boat and skipper for the day. Naturally we will cover all expenses and some more. Also open to raising funds for a worthy charity. We also have a very experienced skipper if needed. Rotto swim is an awesome event and we will definitely have a few laughs on the way over, and celebrate at the end. Please message me if you are interested in helping us out. Any shares greatly appreciated

23.01.2022 Due to the vigilance of the radio operator John Parker in the tower today two divers who had left the beach below the tower to do some fishing had been swept out to sea and were holding onto a cray pot rope for support. John notified the water police and deployed a boat to the scene. The pair were bought aboard the boat and returned to shore. Well done John as the spotter Bill Shean as the skipper John Parker once again as crew and Mike Patton as crew. Well done all of you.

22.01.2022 Last Thursday Marine rescue Two Rocks volunteers took part in a training exercise to manage any potential fuel spillage in conjunction with the Two Rocks marina management. Those that attended and became first responders were Brian Nalder (Commander) Stephen Hyde (Training officer) Billy Shean, Mark Leyland and Colin Blake (Skippers). Our crews would work with Mick Bowra from Two Rocks boat lifters if any request was made.

22.01.2022 A quick shout out to say that John Parker, has taken over the role of FB admin, please do not hesitate to make contact if you have a notification or picture that you want posted. Thank you so much Debbie Leyland for doing all the hard yards to set it up, you are going to be a tough act to follow

19.01.2022 Towing training yesterday for the crews at VMR677. With a good turn out for Wednesday training, (4 on Guardian 1 and 5 on the Sea Guardian 2) it was an ideal opportunity to brush up on recovering and towing a disabled vessel back into the marina and putting it safely alongside the floating dock. Both boats took turns at the recovery and being towed.

18.01.2022 3 young men had a very lucky break this evening after their 5.5m boat sank up the coast. Marine Rescue Two Rocks and the police chopper managed to find them after one of the three managed to keep his cell phone dry enough to contact the rescuers.

Mark Leyland Michael Hilton Leo Oliver Pauline Wimsett When I look down this list, I wonder if you are as surprised as I am that you made it through another year of mayhem caused, laughter generated and life lessons learned.

15.01.2022 This fine establishment was the original headquarters for Two Rocks Volunteer Sea Rescue This was originally the land sales office for Alan Bond’s Sun City Development back in the 80’s, it was known to Two Rocks’ locals as The Prickle.

15.01.2022 Thanks to Brian Nalder for this great photo of the Naiad getting some air, taken during Tuesday training. Wednesday's training managed to halt at 11.00 for 1 minutes perfect silence on a flat calm sea to remember Armitice day. "Lest We Forget"

14.01.2022 So with the prospect of a replacement for Sea Guardian 2 next year, Dfes thought we would like to have a look over Rockingham's new 12m Naiad. They very kindly arranged for Graham Martin (Commander Rockingham) and crew to bring the beast through. Our available senior skippers (Brian Nalder, Billy Shean and Mark Leyland) all got to have a drive and try out some of the new innovations installed on this boat. Stats: Naiad: 12m Engines: 2 X 425hp Yamaha Fuel capacity: 1000lt... Weight: 6.5 Tonne Construction: Bead Welded and pressure tested aluminium. Built in Queensland $550,000, $25,000 transportation costs Max towing weight 13 tonne Have a look at the following photos, should you want an of the photos, please feel free to message me with your email address and I will forward them to you. It was also Two Rocks training day, both boats were out and came to have a look at the new boat, Colin Blake skippering the old girl and Mark Leyland jumped ship to take Guardian 1 out.

13.01.2022 Big shout out to Billy Atwell running the VMR677 home station whilst ROIP, is being installed at the base. We certainly owe the volunteers a massive dept of gratitude for the services they provide to the community in any way they can.

13.01.2022 Due to cost constraints the ute has had to be replaced by something more cost effective. Brian's hat with a flashing light will be here shortly. Thanks to Garry Milne for the vid

02.01.2022 Sea Guardian 2 getting some much deserved TLC from Ben @ True North. Exhaust was getting thin and the turbo mating gasket was a bit second hand. We are all hoping to have her back in the water for the "Get Reel" fishing competition on the 15 May
