while they are out on the water. They were all put through part of the ELEMENTS of SHIPBOARD SAFETY (ESS). They got the chance to experience the cool water of the passage, going through an abandon vessel drill, climbing through the window and out the hatch of Bribie 1, putting on life vests, swimming to a life raft, exit the life raft and swim to a rescue vessel and climb aboard.
BRIBIE ISLAND WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET DAY
Friday 2nd October 2020 – was Wear Your Life Jacket To Work Day! The idea was to: Wear your life jacket and show your colleagues that if it’s easy enough to wear at work, it’s easy enough to wear on the water.
Here is one of our of crew, Jamie Darlington, heading off to work in his Life Jacket.
TWINNIES TO THE RESCUE AGAIN
Saturday 3rd October 2020 Well done Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue again for saving another Pelican needing some help. Green Saturday giving a little help to the Twinnies.
motors were fitted to Bribie 1 The original motors on Bribie 1 were over 5 years old, with nearly 2,000 hours on the clock, and after extensive research it was decided that this was the right time to replace them. The new motors are identical to the original motors, allowing a quick changeover, saving lots of time and money on new wiring and controls. Our thanks go to the maintenance crew and the team from Northside Marine who worked tirelessly to get the boat ready and fit the motors. The new maintenance tractor/trailer was used to take the boat out of the water, allowing the work to be done at the base. The maintenance trailer is proving to be a very worthwhile asset, with Bribie 1 having been taken out of the water a number of times
