Marine Rescue NSW vessels have the power to reach the scene of an emergency FAST but one person evacuated by our volunteers this week quipped she could probably swim faster than the rescue boat could travel through floodwaters.
Volunteers from Marine Rescue Broken Bay, Ulladulla and Tuggerah Lakes have this week provided out-of-area support to flood operations at Taree South.
When they were tasked to evacuate one elderly woman, they discovered to their surprise she was Olympic Gold and Silver medallist Lorraine Crapp.
