Captain Garnette indicated that the visit by the governor-general had a profound impact.

“The visit boosted morale,” said Captain Garnette. “Even when Dame Marcella left, the men were still very enthusiastic about the Commander-in-Chief inspecting them separate from the overall defence force – just as the Coast Guard Unit. … Seeing their Commander-in-Chief actually took time from her schedule, being the governor-general, to come to [visit] them it was a really good day for many of them.”

Off-duty personnel reported to the base to be a part of this courtesy visit, Captain Garnette indicated.
