Last Saturday we had a visit from the Emergency Services Commissioner, Tim Wiebusch ESM. After a tour of our facilities we took Tim out for run in our boat. Here he is at the helm of Rescue 202 and with one of our skippers Grant Bedwell ESM. We think he enjoyed his visit and his trip out on the bay.
