Join them for a cup of java or rooibos tea and something nice to eat. The added bonus is meeting the crew and of course the lovely ladies serving you.The funds raised from this venture are used to maintain and upkeep the rescue craft, their station and the slipway. The support of the public and business is essential in providing this volunteer service with the equipment needed for Sea Rescues.
