Successful Rescue In Whytecliff Highlights Importance of Quick Response

Last night at 22:28, the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) tasked Station 1 with assisting a boat adrift South of Whytecliff.


The weekend duty crew, who had had a very eventful long weekend, responded and were on scene with the vessel at 22:51.


After assessing that the vessel and passengers were in no immediate danger, a tow line was attached and the power boat was towed to the Horseshoe Bay Pier.


If you are ever in need of assistance on the water contact the Coast Guard on marine VHF Ch 16, by dialling *16 on your cell phone or calling 911.
