Marine Rescue carries out 40 missions in January
Marine Rescue carried out 40 search and rescue missions on the Central Coast in January.
Central Coast unit Commander Ian Morrow is encouraging boaters to check equipment and conditions.
"Waterways are great places to be but it is important that you check the conditions and your equipment, not once but twice," he said.
"Make sure that you have everything you need and that you keep safety front of mind.
"What we've seen over recent weeks and months is unstable weather conditions.
"It may be good at one point in the day, but it suddenly changes.
"That is why it is important that you check the conditions.
"Whether you're boating, rock fishing, anytime you are around that coastal environment, it is really important that you continually check the weather," he said.
