The council said on Tuesday the harbourmaster team would be patrolling Lake Dunstan as well as other Central Otago lakes and rivers over summer on the vessel.

Mr Rushbrook called on people who plan to be among the thousands expected to enjoy Otago’s coastal waters, harbours, lakes and rivers over summer to put safety first, and if necessary brush up on the boating safety code.
