NSRI opens base to visitors for 50th birthday
Sea Rescue Station 19 celebrates five decades in style
CELEBRATING the 50th year since the founding of the National Sea Rescue Institute, Station 19 at Richards Bay held a most successful open day on Saturday.
The base was filled with crew, trainees, past members and plenty of well-wishers from the public
Besides a tour of the base, there were plenty of scheduled activities for the more than 150 people who arrived to enjoy themselves in perfect weather.
This included a jumping castle for the kids, free CPR lessons from Meditrax, a short capsize and tow demo by the NSRI crew, items on sale and boat rides on The Spirit of Round Table and The Spirit of Richards Bay – for which guests were prepared to wait in the sun for two hours.
The NSRI expressed thanks to all their crews, their families and sponsors great and small ‘because without them running our station as effectively as we do would not be possible’.
