PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - Plettenberg Bay's NSRI station celebrated a bittersweet moment over the past weekend when the crew took delivery of a brand-new rescue vessel and retired the one that had served them well over a decade.
Local station commander Marc Rodgers said the new vessel arrived on 29 August to replace their trusty Rescue Airlink, which had been used by the crew for the past 12 years.
