Omnisolar reaches out to help Witsand crew

Following the heroic rescue of the crew from the capsized yacht Gulliver, the volunteers of Witsand and their neighbouring station at Still Bay have been hard at work to secure an additional radio antennae in order to improve radio communications in that area.Can you image the feeling of the shore crew manning the radio back at the base when they lost comms with their rescue crew, late at night and in stormy seas. When the rescue boat did manage to contact Cape Town Radio to send a relay message to our base at Witsand, all they could hear was 'Send help - we are not going to make it' not realising that they were referring to their fuel supply.
