I've got a fantastic picture of this whole Bay with thousands of people let me show it to you I remember very clearly the Easter weekend of 1957 my mum was back in I lived across the road in Charlie house she said go down to the beach and go play with the boats when I saw the fun Emden family who are knew very well from Cubs and scouts at the 10th green in Sea Point launching a new boat called lucky Joe and I was dying to go for a ride unfortunately I wasn't lucky enough to get taken with them I set a bit sulky on the beach watching them leave and about two minutes later we looked out to sea about 500 metres from here between 3nt Bay and Rockland's and the bud was burning profusely the rescue shed was opened by Harry Nagel he was the on that day on duty and Ray Lunt I think I'm not sure of the second man I helped them launch the Snoopy rabbit back from kid number 7 we put it in the water and within 2 or 3 minutes the rubber duck had come alongside almost boarded the burning boat taken the fun Emden family and friend a guy called Glen Heaney under - Emden the son mark - Emden and the father henry by the time they got back with all the smoke burning along the beachfront they must literally be 1,500 people lining the railings for the arrival of the family safely back ashore and that day is a day that I'll never forget that clicked me into gear never to leave the beach and become part of the NS RR which I did unofficially and officially only in 1971
