2022-09-11. In the early hours of Sunday, our Coast Guard volunteers, 16 in number, attended the IronMan tri-athlon event. We monitored the road and access points between the public car parks and ramps and the wharf, helping guide spectators and vehicles as the hundreds of athletes cycled through the town. Meanwhile our Radio room operators and boat crew were busy with an assist to a disabled vessel off Caloundra. This photo shows  part of our group receiving their instructions and snacks at 4am. It was a long day with our involvement finishing around 11:30 as the last cyclist went through our section. Thanks to Glenn and Jonno and Peter for setting this up and to Bill for being 'volunteered' to be our team leader, and of course the rest of the volunteers for giving up their precious weekend free time for a good cause.
