Radio Club Newsletter April 2025

Welcome to the April issue of Port Macquarie’s PM Radio Club Newsletter.

April was a real mixed bag with the early part of the month providing reasonable off shore conditions. Then the winds and rain returned and with the added impact of the Cyclone off New Zealand, putting an end to any trips off shore with huge swells along the NSW coast.

Yet again sadly, people disregarded these conditions and wearing of Life Jackets, with the result being the loss of 5 lives over the Easter Break. Please help us to continue Spreading the Word that Life Jackets do save lives.

During May, Marine Rescue NSW will be running a campaign entitled MAYDAY 2025, with the specific objective of raising funds to help offset the ever increasing operating and maintenance costs.

Keep your eye on social media and the special web page where donations can be directed to a specific unit, and to see all the details and updates.

This month’s newsletter features tips on catching Jew fish, cooking Marlin and reading wind and waves.
