Since 1980, 93 people have drowned while trying to save another person. Typically it is the person in trouble that survives, and the would-be rescuer that drowns.
Most of these people would still be alive today if they followed this one piece of advice; only enter the water if you have some form of flotation. You don’t see lifeguards attempting a rescue without equipment.
Providing flotation to a person interrupts the drowning process buying valuable time to either plan how to get the person back to shore, or wait until rescue services arrive.

Yacht races get underwaty at 1pm with the Jane Gifford as flagship, and the course—twice around Saddle Island and back up the harbour to Scotts Landing—provides an unparalleled spectacle, particularly for those who take the picnic lunch to Tungutu Point for the most panoramic vantage from which to appreciate the more than a hundred classic wooden boats competing.
On shore there'll be sand sculpting, egg and spoon, sack and three legged racing, with a water run, egg throwing and tug of war to follow.
Prize giving kicks off at 4pm at Scotts landing and the the after match function sees the 18-piece West City Jazz Orchestra 1940s swing-era music get everyone dancing.

Urgently needing a tradesman who help us fix our water pipes, tank and ?install another tank. We live in Matakana Village.
I didn't realize the wind was strong today.
But the cracking of the branch going and then loud bang as it came down soon let us know in Stanmore Bay.
No damage thankfully, apart from the poor tree. Hope no one else saw any damage.
