Hi guys, just wish to let you know that one of your fellow wingsailors died whilst sailing/flying at Lucky Bay yesterday. His name was Andrew and the circumstances are not clear yet but he was pulled out of the water by fellow sailors at about 5pm.

It was a good effort and response by everyone involved in getting Andrew to the beach and continuing CPR, sadly we could not revive him. I wrote to Melville City Council yesterday requesting the possibility of a Defibrillator being placed at this popular watersports spot as this would have been the only additional help we could have given. Their response was one of cost and vandalism making it prohibitive.
Condolences to his friends and family.

Big respect to you and the others who were there trying to save him. I hope you are all doing ok after a traumatic experience like that.
