Well done to Jean-Marc, Kath, Mick, Darryl, Mark E and Mark V. Look out for them on the water this winter.

Huge congratulations to Simon M on achieving 30 years of service with Marine Rescue NSW.

Well done Simon on achieivng this amazing milestone.

Fantastic to see such a huge number of our members at the AGM this week. Thank you to everyone who came along to support the unit.

Congratulations to Marine Rescue Middle Harbour's new Deputy Unit Commander - Operations, Steve Mitchell.

Unit Commander Ben Crowther was reappointed unopposed and Glen Lighton is also staying on as DUC - Administration. Thank you to everyone who attended the AGM and to all in our management group who keep the base running and our boats on the water.

Today is Thank a First Responder Day.

A huge thank you to all our fellow dedicated Marine Rescue NSW volunteers who are ready to answer the call for help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether on the water or behind the radio, your commitment, professionalism and selfless service help keep the boating community safe.

Thank you for all that you do.

A massive thank you to everyone who visited Bunnings Balgowlah yesterday and grabbed a sausage and sauce to support Marine Rescue Middle Harbour. Thank you too to Bunnings Warehouse Australia for the opportunity and a big shout out to all our members who manned the grill.

If you're out and about today around Bunnings Warehouse Australia at Balgowlah, stop by and grab a sausage from the Marine Rescue Middle Harbour fundraising team. With fuel prices still through the roof and many other ongoing operational expenses, every sausage sold helps keep our boats on the water.

A massive shout out to Sierra Watch for coordinating our fundraising endeavours and to everyone from all watches who help cook up a storm.

A massive well done to Echo Watch's Matt V on successfully completing his Crew Operational Assessment today. Matt demonstrated a comprehensive grasp of all the fundamental skills & knowledge required to be rated as Marine Rescue Crew, also earning a Certificate I in Maritime Operations in the process. Look out for Matt on the water over the winter months.

A quiet weekend on Sydney Harbour for Charlie Watch. The cooler months of the year are the perfect time for training, drills and taking in the views of the world's most beautiful harbour.
