On Saturday, Station 17 hosted an endurance training session with crew from NSRI .
Starting at 03:30, our team spent 10 hours testing their skills to the limit in challenging conditions. Training sessions like this are vital, as we never know when we’ll need to respond. Whether the call comes at 01:00 or during Christmas dinner, we’re ready.
This wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated crew members, and just as importantly, our sincere thanks go to our donors, whose support helps cover the costs of training and operations.
The crew’s performance was exceptional — completing 115 rounds of CPR on a moving vessel in rough seas, conducting crew transfers, and handling every challenge, not just in calm conditions but in the early hours of the morning amid heavy swells.
Well done to everyone involved, and thank you to the Kleinmond crew for joining us.
