The emergency and health services are busy with the virus, adding stuff likes isn't helping.
Stay safe everyone.

Crazy stuff. The weather yesterday was not a good day to take the tinny out at the best of times.

How many times do you need to tell people to watch the weather before going boating ? Very frustrating for the authorities..

Hope they are found safe.
I feel sorry for authorities with limited capacity having to respond to something like this right now. It is disheartening that their message is being missed.
