Lifeboat called to three resuces
FLEETWOOD lifeboat crew were called into action three times at the weekend as pleasure boaters were tempted out and ran into trouble.
The first call out for the lifeboat was on Saturday morning when motor cruiser Froggy Feat suffered engine failureat
King's Scar buoy, about two miles offshore.
The two men aboard were from Otley, Yorkshire and had their angling trip shortened when they were towed back to Fleetwood Marina in the afternoon.
Soon after that, the 37ft yacht Patsy Anne broke down in front of the North Euston Hotel and the married couple aboard, from West Yorkshire, had to be helped back to the Marina.
Yesterday at 10.05am the inshire rescue boat went to the aid of an angling boat with four men aboard who had lost power and the drifted aground, again at King's Scar.
One man was taken ashore but the others remained on board to refloat their vessel on last night's high tide.
