This past Saturday, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) celebrated its 50 years of existence in South Africa, and for Station 12 in Knysna it was the perfect opportunity to open their doors to the public. From 10:00 to 13:00, people were encouraged to take a tour of the station down at The Heads, near East Heads Cafe and see what NSRI Knysna is all about.
