Ray Farnham, NSRI Plettenberg Bay station commander, said; “On 24 April at 12h16 NSRI Plettenberg Bay volunteers were activated following reports from Cape Nature of a female fallen and suffering from a suspected fractured ankle at Kwano Gatte, Robberg Nature Reserve, whilst hiking with family.
NSRI Plettenberg Bay volunteers responded to the scene aboard the sea rescue craft Ian Hepburn.
On arrival on-scene sea rescue members were put ashore where the female, 72 year old Dot Goetsch, from Port Elizabeth, was found with a suspected sprained or possibly fractured ankle and she was stabilized on-scene and carried, secured to a stretcher, to the parking lot at Robberg Nature Reserve, where she was handed over to family members who took her to a local hospital for further assessment and treatment.”
