Rough seas with strong waves made it hard for the Yeppoon Coast Guard Bravo Crew to carry out a rescue over the Easter weekend.
The Coast Guard was contacted by the Queensland Ambulance Service at 8pm on Sunday, April 4, requesting assistance with the medivac of a patient with non-life-threatening injuries from Great Keppel Island.
A crew was assembled but as there were waves of three metres and winds of 35 knots gusting to 40 knots, it was decided to delay the activation.
The following morning QAS paramedics joined a crew on Yeppoon Rescue 1, skippered by Barry Semple, and departed Rosslyn Bay Harbour at 7.30am for GKI.

Feeding cattle a small amount of a seaweed species found in Australia has been shown to reduce their methane emissions by up to 86 per cent.
Key points:
Red seaweed contains a compound that can reduce the production of methane
Proponents say it could be the equivalent of removing 100 million cars from the road if adopted by the agriculture industry
Some scientists warn the side effects of eating red seaweed on a large scale could include the production of ozone-depleting gas
