Couple rescued after getting into difficulties off the coast of Palm Mar

[Janet]

Emergency services were in action shortly after 2pm this afternoon rescuing two people in difficulties off the Palm Mar coast. A GES helicopter and lifeboat were involved in the rescue attempt, and I hope to have photos of the incident shortly. Luckily, despite the dangers of the wild seas, the pair were rescued unharmed, and emergency personnel also returned safe and sound. JA

Victims? Of What? Total stupidity?

In a way i'm glad I can't swim for shit. It means any time i'm in the water there I am really careful.

How come we never find out who got charged for their rescue?

[Janet]

Because it's not released to the press ... every time I've come across the info it's been by accident.
