SAR CalloutWe had a short SAR callout on 4 January, where we were stood down just as teams were being deployed. The search was to assist Police with a shoreline search in Seatoun and on the Eastern side of the harbour for a swimmer who got into trouble the night before swimming off Seatoun Beach. At night, the Westpac helo, Lady Liz IV and Coastguard vessels searched for the swimmer without success. In the morning the dive squad was called in to search around Steeple Rock and the swimmer was located just as we were about to deploy teams into the field.
Those available who either turned up or were enroute were: John Yaldwyn, Brendon Bayliss, Joanne Maddren, Marie Henderson, Simon McAuliffe, Paul Andrews, Noel Sulzberger, Meg Shaw, Sue Cuthbertson, Charles Blanch, Rowena Johnstone, Stuart Meiklejohn, Meg Shaw, Wayne Stevens.
