Yacht aground in Oyster Lease

'Yacht aground in Oyster Lease'    Marine Rescue NSW    Click Here to view large photo

A phone call early on Sunday morning July 18, alerted the volunteers on duty at Marine Rescue Central Coast to the predicament of a 50’ yacht and its crew of five.

They sought assistance as they had run aground about 1.00am. As the daylight made their surrounding clear they found themselves hard and fast in an oyster lease at the northern end of Paddy’s Channel in Brisbane Water.

Skipper Cameron Veacock and crewman took the rescue vessel, Central Coast Lifeboat, to the area. The yacht was well out of the Channel and with low tide fast approaching there was little that could be done until the high tide, still many hours away.

The yacht crew evacuated the two women on board by dinghy to the rescue boat as they were concerned about family at home.

The rescue boat delivered the women to a private jetty at Daley’s Point. The three men stayed with the yacht and after 2.00pm, some 13 hours later, they were able to extricate themselves on get on their way.
