BRIBIE ISLAND NIGHT TRAINING
Night training for crews took place last night, Wednesday 26th August 2020, as we know only too well, things
look very different at night when on a SAR so constant practice and updating skills is needed. The crews practiced steering by compass
only (no Garmin to look at on the helm) emergency drills, MOB (no people were dunked in the water we used a big fender), using searchlights efficiently, look out duties, rafting, towing, radar familiarity, transporting patients to other vessels while moving, medical scenarios , first aid and log keeping. It was a great training exercise thanks to Skipper Ian Grimes for organising this for the crew. It was a great learning exercise for everyone involved.
started. All team members were issued with gloves and face masks if they required them. Thanks to Sandstone Point Hotel for their support.
