In the small hours Friday morning, St Mary’s Lifeboat was called out to a yacht. At around 3 am, the Whiteheads attended a French yacht that had dragged anchor, ending up ashore on Gugh. St Agnes Coastguard were at the scene. The lifeboat towed the yacht to St Mary’s harbour. The shaft was slightly damaged, but was soon repaired. She left for France on Saturday 26.
This was the third time the lifeboat had been called out in a week. Before Saturday, it had not been called out since February.
