Memorial Day Weekend 2006...

Memorial Day Weekend 2006...




Memorial Day Weekend found it busy as always down at the New Jersey shore with the start of the Summer season. The Point Pleasant Dive Team responded to a call of a person trapped in the rocks of the Jetty at the Manasquan Inlet.

Upon arrival the team found a female who had been walking on the "Jacks" of the inlet and slipped on a wet area and pinning her ankle in one of the large concrete "Jacks". First priority was to ensure that th victim was protected from the surf hitting the jetty as well as working on safely extracting the female from her predicament.

The victim was removed from the situation with the use of about a gallon of liquid soap and a bit of effort by the team and other supporting members of the Fire department, Police department, and members from Jenkinson's Boardwalk... Fortunately the female was not injured seriously and was transported to the local hospital...

Members of the Dive Team pause for a photo on the beach. Dave Margentino, Sue Lewicki, Chief Diver Chet Nesley, Eric Popleik, and Jay Bayliss...

Then there is the "Paperwork" to be completed...
