MRQ Jacobs Well had a few important passengers for the annual Santa Run.
Mr and Mrs Claus were on board as they travelled the waterways delivering presents for many excited children and some excited big kids like Brett from Hooked on bait shop.

Now the busy period really kicks in today with so many people out with their Xmas toys on the water.

During this busy period we are there with you all. We do ask that you are patient and please help us by logging on before you hit the water. You know our message is simple log on stay safe Radio log on VHF 82 or 16

Have fun on the water and if you see our crews give us a wave and say hi , we give up our family time to keep you safe on the water..

Take care and see you on our beautiful work location.

Whilst Purple C crew had a few tow jobs today they also had an unusual visitor. A sunken houseboat or more so part thereof decided to float on past the base.

Fortunately the vessel was contained and taken to a salvage point to be dealt with. Well done to Purple C .
