Boaters urged not to take risks ahead of hazardous weather
Marine Rescue NSW is urging boaters not to risk their lives or vessels as Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches.
Marine Rescue NSW Superintendent Dan Duemmer said the New South Wales coast would feel the effects of the system over the coming days.
“Boaters should avoid going out on the water until this system has passed. It is going to be very dangerous on our waterways, and it is not worth endangering yourself or others for a day out on the water.
“The forecast winds and swell will make boating hazardous—don’t risk it.
“Boaters should ensure their vessels are moored securely and anchored safely.
“Be aware that over the coming days and weeks, there will be debris and hazards in our waterways—stay cautious,” Superintendent Duemmer said.
