“…when people are drowning they’d like to know there might be just a few more resources than some locals on paddle boards, kayaks and fishing tinnys to pull them out” 2/5
This comes from Susie Britton, my friend, a mother, teacher and occasional flood kayaker: I spent three hours on a boat with two guys who had a Stubby in each hand and I think they saved at least a dozen folk the dropped me off, went straight back out and didn’t even blink 1/5
My exceptional fmr English teacher helping flood victims in northern NSW. In her words:
“I found myself on a kayak & then tinny going after an elderly lady in chest-deep water bc stretched resources meant no one else had responded to her distress call.”
