A DAY’S fishing for five Victorians almost ended in tragedy off Port Stephens on the 6th March when their 8m boat was overturned in rough seas.
Search and Rescue Authorities were alerted to the distress after the quick thinking skipper of the vessel, Tony Egeberg, activated the GME MT400 EPIRB on board.
Egeberg has been lauded a hero after his actions saved the lives of two of his fishing mates and alerted the authorities to the boat’s whereabouts.
GME has been designing and manufacturing EPIRBs in Australia for over 30 years. GME said during this time literally thousands of lives have been saved in Australia and around the world.
