🐲🛶 Camden Haven Dragon Boat Regatta 🛶🐲

Last weekend some of our Volunteers spent their time helping out at stoney park for Camden Havens Dragon Boat Regatta.

Our volunteers had a great time serving lunch, managing the first aid tent and helping out on the water!💦

Thank you for inviting us out for the event and great job to all those rowing!

🎉 Congratulations to our newest Rescue Watercraft Operator, Daniel Sawaqed! 🎉

Daniel successfully completed his RWC Operational Assessment this morning, being assessed as competent by Training Officer Rob Curtis, with support from Scott and Anderson. 💦🛟

The assessment put Daniel through a range of inshore and offshore scenarios, including surf negotiation, search and rescue, casualty recovery, towing, communications and incident response.⚓️🧭

Daniel demonstrated the skills, judgement and confidence required of an operational RWC Operator and handled the assessment extremely well. 👏

A special thank you to Darren Vanderley and Scott Saunders for the time, effort and commitment they’ve put into Daniel’s training and preparation.

We’re excited to welcome Daniel to the RWC team at Marine Rescue Port Macquarie!

Well done, Daniel — a fantastic result!👏🌊

💦💪Training with Camden Haven 💪💦

Last week some of our volunteer crew met with the Camden Haven unit at sea, so we could get them familiar with crossing the Port Macquarie bar.⚓️🌊

After a few bar crossings the team decided to practice towing, so Camden Heaven put our rescue vessel PM30 under tow for another bar crossing.🪢🛟

This was a great day and allowed the crew from both units to get together and learn some skills.🧭🗺

Thank you Marine Rescue Camden Haven for visiting!

✨️🌊 Team Tuesday 🌊✨️

Meet Jess one of our Boat Crew! 🛟⚓️

Jess joined after abit of convincing from her friend who was already a member! 🪢💦

She had no boating experience before joining and that made her nervous but that wasnt a problem as our training team taught her everything she needed to know and boosted her confidence! ⚓️💪

If you want to join our Marine Rescue family catch us at the boat shed tonight for our Public Information night 5.30pm 8th of September. 🏖✨️

Port Macquarie 30 was drifting approximately 1NM offshore yesterday conducting training when a whale paid our volunteer crew a visit, surfacing right beside the rescue vessel.

Thankfully, PM 30 was already drifting, allowing our crew to enjoy this special encounter.

If a whale approaches your vessel or surfaces nearby, immediately cut your engine, slow to a safe speed and wait for the whale to move on.
