Another rescue off Westrern australia
A relatively happy ending of an offshore grounding.

Re: Another rescue off Westrern australia
Good rescue of the crew and for taking the boat in tow. Good thing they have crash compartments!

Not sure why they would have been so close to shore in those kind of conditions - staying outside the 100m line is prudent at night and restricted visibility due to all the little islands and rocks along that shoreline.
