Lady Alida an 80m Coaster suffered engine failure 3 miles from land, drifting towards the shore, Penlee and Sennen Cove Lifeboats towed the vessel to safer waters in fairly poor weather conditions.
was a double rescue .. night time they towed to 5 miles off to await tug ...anchor still dragging & in daylight coastguard had same distress call & scrambled them both to where they originally rescued from & they stood by until tug arrived after towing to 5 miles off & all lines thrown were secured 1st time (day & night )
Very impressed with the RNLI chap who threw the line to the coaster - considering the conditions and distance !! Excellent.
Wow - I hope the RNLI receive a generous donation for this assistance which has saved the insurers potentially many millions.

This is where if you got older crew members with pair trawling experience comes in handy..
Incredible people ❤️
Thank you 🙏
Terry is my favourite!
