Abandoned crossing after southerly front rolls through early
- Coastguard Mana
- Operation Details Date/Time: Sat, 07/01/2023 - 07:30 - 10:15 Operation Type: CG Operation (good samaritan) People Assisted: 2 Total Volunteer Hours: 19 2 people in a small 3.5m dinghy were caught out by a southerly front coming through sooner than expected whilst fishing. They made the decision to abandon the return leg from Mana Island and took shelter on the island, calling Coastguard for assistance. They left their vessel anchored just off shore and swam to the beach where they waited. We nosed up on the gravel beach and picked them up. After ensuring they were in good health and providing them blankets to warm up, we approached the vessel near rocks and hooked the anchor line, pulling it up and out to deeper water. Vessel Details Length: 3.50m Resources Attendees: Devine CMFF Jason Hall Mark Presling Neil Cornwell NZ Tuatara Trevor Farmer CRV's Used: Te Awarua Rescue read more

6hr tow of yacht from Wellington south coast
- Coastguard Mana
- Operation Details Date/Time: Thu, 05/01/2023 - 09:30 - 21:30 Operation Type: CG Operation (good samaritan) People Assisted: 2 Total Volunteer Hours: 84 38ft steel yacht got it's anchor stuck near Makara/Ohau. Whilst manoeuvring to release it they overheated the engine. They were unable to sail due to low wind and inexperience, so ended up drifting south in the strong currents. By the time we got to them they had drifted 10NM into Cook Strait, south of Karori Rock through the Karori Rip. It took us 5hrs to tow them back to Mana, by which point the tide was at it's lowest point. We had to put them on the mooring just outside the bar and then return the passenger back to base, leaving the skipper aboard.
