When an accident at sea happens, we drop everything in our lives to respond. We search for hours, often day after day, hoping for the best possible outcome, but sometimes its only to give closure to the loved ones you have left behind. HAVE all required safety gear, AND know how to use it! WEAR your life jackets/Pfds, theyre certainly not there to be a cushion or fashion accessory! LOG-ON with your local Marine Rescue Group, and check that where you go AND the weather are suitable for both your vessel and your own capabilities. If you are unsure or new to boating, please contact your local Marine Rescue Group for advice. Our doors are open, use Facebook use phones..we always try to be available for any questions or queries. Or bring your boat and your family down so we can answer any questions you AND your family may want to ask. There is nothing embarrassing about wanting to keep your loved ones safe!
