As summer draws to a close, Victorian Lifeguard Matt Dee reflects he has not done one rescue this season. It¹s a remarkable feat given Deano has done 87 rescues. Matt suspects he may have super hero powers that make swimmers safe whenever he is on patrol. It looks like he is going to break his luck and is called down to do a rescue.

Whippet goes out to rescue her and brings her back to shore in great pain. She was surfing with her boyfriend who arrived from England that morning.
