Two crews from Marine Rescue Batemans Bay were activated tonight to respond to a medical emergency on a houseboat on the Clyde River.
The crews of rescue vessels Batemans 30 and Batemans 20 transported NSW Ambulance paramedics and NSW Police Force officers to the houseboat.
A casualty was removed from the boat, along with his partner, and transferred on board Batemans 30 for the return to shore at the Batemans Bay Marina, from where he was transported to hospital.
The Clyde River road bridge was lifted to enable Batemans 30, a Steber 38, to pass upstream to reach the houseboat.
The crew of Batemans 30 was Richard Blundell and Rod Ingamells, with David Murn and John Clement on board Batemans 20.
