Volunteer Marine Rescue Mackay members spent almost more time on the water than on land across the weekend with four rescues in less than 30 hours.
Two crews were doing winch training with their RACQ CQ Rescue peers on Saturday when they were called to separate incidents.
“As if on cue, a call (came) in for Mastermyne Rescue 5 to assist a 5m powerboat that had broken down near Keswick Island,” public relations and marketing volunteer Daryl Howland posted to the group’s Facebook page.
“Then another call (came) for an overturned vessel at Refuge Bay on Scawfell Island (with) Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal Rescue 6 heading to help.
Coronavirus was the overseas disease. Until it wasn t. We knew it was on cruise ships and we had locals from Mackay and Whitsundays on board in late February. But back then I was still planning on jetsetting to Italy and Spain for my friend s 50th. It ll be fine. The virus is just in the north of Italy, we assured ourselves. We re young and this virus is hitting the oldies, we told our families. On March 10, our trip was cancelled when Italy closed its borders to try to shut down the spread of COVID-19 as hospitals were overrun with patients and deaths escalated.
