And he could not be in both cars at the same time.“ And then Werner Krause, a young crewman at Melkbosstrand arrived,” said Kobus.“He was fantastic. He was calm and handled the situation very well. It was an honor to work with a fellow Sea Rescue crewman out of the normal duty.“ Station 18 can be proud of him,” said Kobus.
