On Saturday evening at 7:53pm we received a distress call from a boater near Numbaa Island on Shoalhaven River. He was having engine trouble and was unsure that he could make it safely back to the ramp.

A crew call out was made, and Shoalhaven 20 was launched with Skipper Mark D and crew Steve C & Matt T on board. As they left the ramp, the boater who had been slowly and gently driving his boat to the ramp, was able to safely return.

Our crew had been shadowing the vessel nearby, ready to assist if and when the boater needed them.

This often can happen, we can call out a crew, after hours, but the vessel is able to get home safely under their own steam. Regardless of this our crew give up their time, at times leaving important family commitments, to be there to help boaters if and when they need us, to get home safely. Our crew returned to their families around 10pm.

After retiring from a rewarding career, it was important to Steve to be doing something that gave back to his community, something would make a difference in people's lives.

Having been a highly valued volunteer with the NSW Rural Fire Service for 10 years, he wanted to do something new that would build on what he had already learned and achieved, but that would also challenge him in new ways.

So Steve joined our unit. He recently completed his training as a radio operator, and has joined our roster, supporting boaters when they need it, by being a calm and confident voice on the radio. Steve also has been undertaking training as boat crew, and continues to enjoy developing new skills.

When asked what he enjoyed most about being a volunteer with Marine Rescue Shoalhaven, he said "All of it!". Steve said he finds it rewarding being with like minded people, the connection with the community all while promoting water safety practices.

Steve is a valuable member of our team, saving lives on the water.

Wow, what a night!

On Saturday the Gerroa Boat Fisherman's Club held their annual charity event, and what an event it was. Unit Commander James, with Kerrie, Vicki, Judy, Craig, Jenni, Paul, Mark & his two boys, Oliver & Jack represented our unit while having themselves a great time.

We were so impressed by how the Fisho's pulled out all the stops, with special guests Bluey, Chilli, Yogi Bear and Minnie and Mickey Mouse putting in appearances, which was enjoyed by young and old.

We are so humbled that not only did they choose us to be the recipient of this incredible event, the appreciation and gratitude for the way Marine Rescue Shoalhaven supports their members was reiterated to us throughout the event by both organisers and attendees.

Thank you again we are more grateful than we can say. Generous support from our community keeps our volunteers saving lives on the water.

We were recently invited to be part of a Girls on Fire day in Nowra. It was another great opportunity for Marine Rescue Shoalhaven and Marine Rescue Jervis Bay to work together and engage with our community about the work we do saving lives on the water.

It was a fantastic day being there with the other fire and emergency services, showing these young women, "girls on fire", some of the ways they can be part of these great organisations, learning skills, building strong relationships and helping communities.

We were so impressed by the interest and participation of the girls, and believe that our emergency services will be well served by these young women if they decide to join one or more of them.

We admired the professionlism of the whole event, it was organised so well, and we look forward to taking part in the future.

Maz joined Marine Rescue Shoalhaven around the same time as two of her friends. She was interested in doing something where she would meet different people, from both the unit and the community.

Fundraising was where her interest lay, as she was keen to be a part of keeping the service running, to ensure that it was still around for future generations of boaters.

Maz found it really valuable to see that she was helping through fundraising, as well as engaging with people, that she was helping the community see the need for the service, and that every volunteer, no matter what they do, helps.

Maz finds the engagement with people the most enjoyable part of what she does, as part of our fundraising crew, she gets to meet many different people, and helping others is always rewarding.

Maz is an invaluable member of our unit, a volunteer saving lives on the water.
