Precision Performance by Marine Police and Volunteers

“He’s lost at sea and unwell?”

“The information we have,” the clipped, efficient tones state, “he is 55 years old, in a four metre tinnie.  He has diabetes and rang his wife from a mobile at 7.15 am to say he felt ill.  That’s four hours ago, the mobile’s battery has run out, he has no radio equipment on board, he has not returned to shore.”

 With unemotional precision and no time for niceties the facts are disseminated to the awaiting crews.  The silence buffets between the groups and the adrenaline starts pumping as a few of us peek over the wall to the building seas that await us.  Many of us are scribbling down the information and start swaying from foot to foot in impatience of ‘getting out there and doing what we do’ – rescue!
