It will allow boaties to view, either on mobiles, laptop, or at a kiosk at the boat ramp, a live image of the bar which is notorious for moving. Support for the idea grew in the community during a second Taieri River Mouth Safety Evening meeting, at Brighton Surf Life Saving Club, on Monday. The first meeting was held last month after incidents in which boats capsized at the bar.
