Arran RNLI’s busy summer continued on Sunday with the 16th call-out of the year and the sixth in the past two weeks.
The in-shore lifeboat Rachel Hedderwick was launched at 12.40am in response to a distress call from a fishing vessel that was adrift in Brodick Bay. Thankfully the crew had managed to restart the engine by the time the lifeboat crew arrived on scene. The crew remained with the vessel until she had safely made her way to Lamlash Bay before returning to the lifeboat station.
Helm Martin Wood said ‘This was another call-out in a very eventful summer for the station. The rest of the crew and myself train hard to ensure we can respond to emergencies of any nature.
