01.01.2022 Big day on the water yesterday to tow a vessel from The Middle Ground off Maurouard Beach to Binalong Bay. The vessel with three PoB had suffered gear failure in about 25 metres of water. The success of the operation required outstanding teamwork from our dedicated volunteers. Radio operator Tracey M maintained VHF radio communications. Onshore crew in Christine H and Ken C provided support and maneuvered the tow vehicle form St Helens to Burns Bay and then on to Binalong Bay. Georges Bay crew in JD, Darren A, Geoff B and John S who performed a copy book tow in trying conditions. After securing the vessel on a MAST mooring in Binalong Bay the rescued crew were transferred to the boat ramp and returned to St Helens. A great outcome, well done to all involved.
