Transcript

00:00 Across the state our volunteers have returned over 1,200 people to shore with our Sydney

00:05 region being the busiest with over 538 people returned to shore.

00:11 Unfortunately we are still seeing too many boaters and their vessels succumb to mechanical,

00:15 fuel and battery issues with over 60% of our responses last month for these three preventable

00:22 issues.

00:24 With a fortnight remaining in the official boating season we're asking boaters to make

00:28 sure that they plan and prepare before hitting the water.

00:33 Please ensure that your vessel is in good working order, that you have the required

00:37 safety equipment for your voyage and most importantly that you've got enough fuel and

00:40 reserve to return.

00:43 Logging on via the Marine Rescue app or over VHF Marine Channel 16 ensures that our dedicated

00:49 volunteers keep watch for boaters and make sure that we're monitoring their safe return.
