In a dramatic maritime rescue on June 11, 2012, the yacht "Morning Tide" found itself in dire straits off Byron Bay after it lost its communication systems and began to take on water during a fierce storm around midnight. The vessel, an experienced participant in the Sydney to Hobart race with eleven entries, was struggling to navigate towards Brisbane from the NSW Central Coast when it reported engine failures and radio malfunctions. Amidst these challenging conditions, the "Amarantha" spotted the distressed yacht but was unable to extract the two crew members due to the severe weather. Remaining on alert, the "Amarantha" awaited the arrival of two rescue helicopters, which ultimately hoisted the crew to safety. Once transported, the crew received treatment for hypothermia and fatigue at Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital, ensuring their swift recovery from the harrowing ordeal.
