After assisting with the Plimmerton Kindergarten Mid-winter Swim [2] the crew spent a couple of hours doing extra training. CRV Trust Porirua Rescue [3] was taken to Titahi Bay and an anchoring excercise was undertaken by the newer crew members to familiarise them with the process and associated risks.
We then headed down the coast to Boom Rock (at Pipinui Point) to get a daytime visualisation of where the Cliff Rescue [4] operation was undertaken a few nights before.
