Dinghy broken down off Pukerua Bay
- Coastguard Mana
- Operation Details Date/Time: Tue, 22/02/2011 - 21:00 - 23:50 Operation Type: SAROP Cat 1 People Assisted: 3 During training a report came in of a dinghy that had broken down up at Pukerua Bay with three people on board. CRV Pelorus took some new recruits off Trust Porirua Rescue (that had been training) and TPR immediately responded to the scene. Light was fading by this stage and finding the dinghy in the dark was very difficult as they did not have any form of lighting or signalling equipment with them, no VHF, and their cellphone battery was dying - an all too common occurance!
