The weather for Moonstruck 2012 could not have been better. It was a glorious Cape day that turned out to be a spectacular day on Clifton's 4th beach. The 567 Cape Talk event with BP Express got huge support with about 7000 people packing onto the beach and up to 35 boats anchoring in the bay.
Just over R34 000 from selling Glow sticks and Sea Rescue memorabilia went to the station of volunteers at Bakoven towards their new rescue boat that will cost about R850 000. A big thank you to all who supported the event and NSRI and especially to 567 Cape Talk and BP Express.
