It’s designed to encourage holiday-makers to think about what they’d do if an emergency happened while they were on holiday. Although I get tempted not to come back from my bach, I don’t really want to be stranded there in an emergency, without essential supplies.

Here are some useful links to help you prepare for an emergency:

On Saturday morning the annual Hipkins Cup swim got underway.
Registrations were great with 25 competitors entering into the swim (including one brave man in speedos).
The swimmers took to the start line right on noon and made the dash across the stones and into the water.
The front group made good time and powered through the water across to the turning buoy at the entrance to Whites Bay.
Paul Sell took out the event maintaining the lead and finishing in 33 minutes 30 seconds - a minute later 16-year-old Jacob Babb who was followed closely by Emma Moore who finished in 35 minutes 10 seconds. Hot her tail was 14-year-old Fergus Greer, just 5 seconds behind Moore.
Congratulations to all those who competed and thanks to all the supporters and the Rarangi Surf Lifesavers for ensuring the event ran safely.
