Southerly breeze results in Marine Rescue activity

A 20-knot southerly on Sunday afternoon turned Brisbane Water into a maelstrom of white water on Sunday, November 10, according to Marine Rescue publicity officer Mr David Wicks.

This resulted in the Marine Rescue Central Coast radio room becoming "a hive of activity with numerous calls for help".

"The gusty conditions also caused some concern for exhibitors at the Brisbane Water Oyster Festival as the strong gusts of wind threatened the array of tents," he said.

"A call for assistance came from a 12-year-old boy in a three-metre tinny with engine failure.

"Fortunately, his position was not far from the Point Clare Marine Rescue base and a vessel was prepared for the rescue.

"However, the boy and his tinny were drifting rapidly toward the base, eventually colliding with the wooden jetty.

"A Marine Rescue crew was on hand to assist the boy ashore unharmed and looked after him until his worried parents were advised to come and collect him."

Another call for assistance came from a kite surfer who had lost his kite and associated equipment.

"Rescue vessel Central Coast 21, which was still en route to the base from a previous rescue, was diverted to the rescue and the kite surfer was safely recovered from the water and returned ashore."
