Just as the Lifeboat was about to re-house, it was contacted and told there was a small vessel with 3 persons on board in the Swellies with engine failure. The Lifeboat speeded to the Swellies and on arrival found the vessel had managed to anchor in a very strong tidal flow but was without a working engine. A tow was established and the vessel was returned to its launching site, the Indefatigable slipway.
