## Caption

Early this month, Senior Constable Ellis and Constable Castel lent a helping hand to an elderly couple down at Rosebud Beach. ⁣
⁣
The pair had drifted 3km out into the bay on an inflatable paddle board. Lucky they were spotted by a local fisherman who helped save the day. ⁣
⁣
No need for police to take a dip this time, but the couple were thankful and expressed their gratitude to everyone involved in their rescue. ⁣
⁣
When out on open water please remember to: ⁣
🦺 Always wear an approved life jacket. ⁣
☀️ Check the weather forecasts. Consider postponing your trip if the weather is unfavourable. ⁣
🌊 Avoid areas exposed to high wind and waves.⁣
🗣️ Let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return.⁣
🚣 Always stay with your boat or craft.⁣
