Although everyone seemed to have done their bit, the NSRI included…Wayne Marsh deserves special mention…he drew on his fitness and experience as a long time lifeguard, and entered the huge seas swimming out with a torpedo boy…rescuing two stranded anglers, after the boat they had chartered…Big Momma, capsized in the massive surf at Shelley Beach yesterday morning.
All 8 people on board, including skipper and mate, were rescued, and treated for their various levels of injuries.
Wayne is a charter skipper working for MUST-BYT Charters and his level of commitment to fellow mariners, shows the mettle required when working in the dangerous surf zones of southern Africa…
The charter boat Big Momma, was completely destroyed.
Nice one Wayne!
