🚨 FATHERS DAY Call Out – Tinnie with fuel issues on the river🚨

First thing yesterday morning, Port Macquarie 21 with four volunteer crew assisted an early morning boater with fuel issues. Unfortunately for the boater, they didn't get any fishing in before we were called.

It was a beautiful day to be up and on the water. The vessel was returned to the boat ramp, accompanied by some local dolphins.
