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.

From the start, the selection of plants wasn’t as easy as just going to a nursery, looking at the label on the plant and saying this looks good.
Many of the plants recognised in gardening books and local nurseries can be complete duds in coastal conditions. I received an email this week from Helen of Emu Park asking if I could recommend some colourful coastal ground covers that could be planted on an embankment garden not far from the beach.
