The sun is going down over Hillary's Marina and once again the Whitfords Volunteer Rescue comes to the aid of a sailor in distress, they operate 24/7, 365 days of the year in every type of weather condition. The service is made up of two vessels the 'Stacy Hall' a 12 mtr launch, call sign Green 1 and the 'City of Joondalup' a 11.5 mtr launch, call sign Green 2 both capable of rough sea rescues! Their area of operations is bounded by a line due West from City Beach in the South and a line due West from the Alkimos wreck in the North and approximately 30 nautical miles out to sea and is run by a dedicated group of sailors who don't receive any remuneration at all.. pretty special I'd say.....!!
