Young man badly sunburnt, culminating in blisters and numbness. Father requested advice and Hospital number. VISAR responder also called a local clinic for advice, which was passed onto casualty. The advice eased the pain and brought feeling back to his feet. VISAR offered to find a skipper to help the family, who where unfamiliar with the terrain, back into Road Harbour. The crew managed to return to their charter base unaided and followed through with further treatment in Road Harbour.
