Intro: Paul Featherstone - NSW Ambulance rescuer of Stuart Diver at Thredbo, among others.

NO FISH
A pleasant day on the bay turns sour when a fishing boat with four people on board calls for Water Police help when its battery fails. But what should be a routine rescue turns into an ordeal when the fishing boat crew can’t get their anchor winch to work. With the seas becoming choppy and the swell picking up the two boats start bumping each other and the race is on to get things sorted before major damage occurs.

Water Police Personnel:
Sgt George Dixon
Sen Const Peta Blackett-Smith

TREE PROTESTORS
It’s logging season in East Gippsland which means anti-logging protestors are attempting to cause as much disruption as possible to highlight their cause. The Search and Rescue squad is called in to remove two protestors who have “locked on” to a bulldozer and another who is perched on a tripod in a huge tree. It’s painstaking and potentially dangerous work.

Search and Rescue Personnel:
Acting Sergeant Matt Roberts
Senior Constable Kel Boers

EBAY MAYDAY
Canadian Dave Bertram has a true adventure spirit and plans to sail the boat he bought on Ebay for $800 to Hervey Bay. Unfortunately for Dave the boat starts taking on water soon after he takes possession and the Water Police are called to help. Dave is optimistic about his plans but the Water Police have a different view.
