Towed away: Port Stephens boat rescued from open seas

A training crew at Marine Rescue Port Stephens got a taste of real action on Saturday, rescuing a runabout boat north east of Broughton Island.

The boat, which had been out fishing, was towed to Little Beach boat ramp by the Port Stephens 31 crew. The team safely manoeuvred the boat, avoiding a yacht race and other fishing boats.

The operation was safely completed using a heaving line, connected to the larger tow line, while out on open seas.
