31st August 16:00 - Menai Strait, Near B8

A boat fouled its propeller on a mooring in Beaumaris Bay then set off for Conway, but ran aground on a sandbank. After it refloated, the lifeboat was launched to make contact with the boat when it appeared to having difficulty making way. The lifeboat checked all was well and asked the boat occupants to turn on the VHF radio and stay in contact with Holyhead Coastguard until their safe arrival in Conway.

Weather: SW 6, Rain
