Sunday 31 May Late afternoon tow job

A vessel had been calling for a tow from South of Rock Point, Maritime radio picked up the request and rebroadcast but no other vessels offered to assist and Police called Coastguard.

As our crew were arriving at the base another vessel coming in from the North heard the radio call and offered to assist. Police requested that Coastguard confirm that all was ok with the tow so we went out and checked. Tow was safe and underway and we carried out some helm and navighation practise as we monitored the tow from a distance

A big thankyou to the boat that was coming in and gave their help to the boat with engine trouble.
