> They have a fleet of 72 rescue craft, 21 vehicles, and
access to a range of helicopters.

donations and sponsorships.
> 880 Highly skilled volunteers are on standby day and
night.
If your timing is right you could see the "Spirit of
Rotary - Table Bay" on the waters of this little bay. She is a 6
meter rescue craft stationed here at the Bakoven station. I've seen
an education program here once where children got taught CPR
skills, how to swim and stay afloat and other first responders
skills.
