A volunteer crew from Marine Rescue Port Macquarie has safely returned a man and his two sons to shore after their jet ski suffered engine failure off Miners Beach earlier today (24 August 2024)
Marine Rescue NSW Inspector John Murray said Marine Rescue Port Macquarie received a call for assistance just before 12 pm.
“A volunteer crew on board rescue vessel Port Macquarie 21 was deployed.
“PM 21 reached the disabled watercraft and its passengers around 12.15pm.
“The jet ski was safely secured and towed away from the shore.
“The three riders were then taken on board PM 21 for the journey to the Boatshed,” he said.
Inspector Murray said whilst the rescue was a standard mission for the Service the response provided some challenges for the volunteer crew on board PM 21.
“The rescue was completed near the shoreline with many rocks making the area difficult to navigate,” Inspector Murray said.
