Last Wednesday saw crews fill our Rescue boats, Rescue 1 & Rescue 2 heading out for another Inhouse Training Session focusing on towing out in Oyster Harbour.

Great seeing the group supporting these sessions whilst building their skills, communication and knowledge.

Thanks Pat McSweeney , Jason Shepherd & Ben Pountney for putting these training sessions together and the work behind the scenes to keep the interest levels high.

Making the most of a Sunday morning deploying Rescue 1 & Rescue 2 with our eager Albany Sea Rescue recruits with todays in-house training session focusing on towing and rafting.

Big shout out to Jason Shepherd for the behind the scenes work leading up to today and especially your efforts today 💪.

Great seeing the team work and confidence building amongst the attendees with summer quickly approaching👌.

Conditions definitely added a spice to the rafting exercise but it cant all be glass off and no wind.

Wednesday Afternoon inhouse training session done and dusted, aim of the session was to build confidence in the use of the Sea Scooper from setting up the Sea Scooper, boat positioning and retrieving of our mannequin with the Sea Scooper.

It was great seeing the new recruits taking onboard the directions from Jason Shepherd then putting that into action with good team work and communication.

Well done to all who attended, a big shoutout to Jason & Ben onboard Rescue 1 with the directions and running this training session.

Also big thanks to George & Dave manning the radios, always appreciated having that coverage after hours just incase needed - thank you 👌
