HESSEQUA NUUS - The NSRI are appealing to paddlers, sailboarders and boaters to stencil their name, contact number and the contact number of a responsible friend or family member on their paddle-boards, wind sailing boards and boats.
"We urge you to let your local NSRI know if you abandon your craft at sea, leaving it adrift at sea," said Craig Lambinon, Sea Rescue communications officer.
They also urge paddlers, sailboarders and boaters to download the free NSRI RSA SafeTrx phone app (see the NSRI web page www.nsri.org.za) and use it when launching to go to sea.
"Always carry safety equipment and wear your life-jacket properly fastened when launching craft onto water (inland or coastal waters)".
