A big thankyou along with the upmost appreciation when our vessel became grounded at Cobrabald Bay , Lake Eucumbene on the 11th September 2026 with the call for assistance going out around 9 pm . Response from both the SES flood boat & NSW rescue Vessel Alpine Lakes 20 was amazing with every effort carried out so professionally .
