Four boaties had to be rescued this morning after becoming distracted by a large fish and overturning their boat.

The four men had been distracted by a large fish, and in their enthusiasm to look at it they unbalanced the vessel, which flipped, police said. Police Search and Rescue co-ordinated a marine response, which included the Harbour Master and commercial vessels, and the group was picked up by a mussel harvester.

Constable David Cogger said the group was lucky to be found, given there was initially difficulty pinpointing their location. "The group managed to keep one cellphone dry to make an emergency call, however they were extremely lucky to have managed this," Cogger said. Cogger said it was a timely reminder for boaties to have the appropriate emergency and communication gear on board.

"This gear can save your life if you get into trouble.
“如果你遇到了麻烦,这个装备可以挽救你的生命。”
"We'd like to thank those crew aboard the mussel harvester, Platinum, who stopped their workday and responded – without their help today things could have turned out quite differently," Cogger said.
Cogger说:“我们要感谢贻贝收割船Platinum号上的那些工作人员,他们停下了手头的工作并进行了回应,如果没有他们的帮助今天的情况可能完全不同。”
mussel:贻贝
None of the four men were injured in the incident.
