Nautical mishaps.....!!


It doesn't matter how big or how grand your boat is sometimes you need a bit of rescuing!. I took these photos from the lighthouse at the Marina last night. As he passed heading out to sea to perform another of the many rescues they attend each year the Captain of the Whitfords Volunteer Sea Rescue  (Whitfords Sea Rescue) gave me a cheery smile and a wave. When they returned later with boat in tow,  the lady standing forlornly on the prow staring straight ahead, was probably cold and definitely not amused!! The Whitfords Volunteer Sea Rescue is the biggest sea rescue service in WA and have been around for 35 years performing anywhere up to 300 rescues a year. Bravo to them I say!!
