Sometimes our Duty Crew gets asked to do something that is really “feel good”.

A young couple who met on a sandbar, a year earlier wanted to get married on a sand bar, in the river. They asked us to take them across to the sand bar opposite our base so that they could be married. Two of the crew acted as witnesses. The husband “to be” carried his lady to the sand so that her feet stayed dry! After the marriage they joined the crew for our normal Sunday morning “bridal” breakfast.

Whist not something we plan to do it meant that the crew had a “feel good” start to the day. Locals supporting locals!

A key part of running our Volunteer Coast Guard unit is fundraising. This is a constant focus for our members. As we bring in younger members, some still working, the availability of crew to handle things like Bunnings BBQ’s on Mondays is showing that we need some members who focus on fundraising as their contribution.

If assisting with our fundraising would be of interest please reach out to “[email protected]” or ring 07 5474 3695.
