Dear Sir,

Please allow me to pass on my sincere thanks and appreciation to members of the Artemis crew who came to my assistance on Saturday afternoon, April 30, off Five Star Island. A visitor from Canada suffered an epileptic seizure while on a jet ski tour, which I was leading.

I approached the Artemis base and appealed for help. Crew members responded without a second thought, raced out to the scene with me and stabilised the man until marine police arrived to convey him to Jews Bay dock and the ambulance that would take him to hospital.

Their care and efficiency do them great credit, as does their eagerness to help out in the community they now call home.

Many thanks to all concerned: Artemis crew, marine police and the ambulance staff.

HARRY PATCHETT,
