AUGUST is often a busy month for lifeboat crews and Campbeltown has not been spared.
There were three emergencies last week one of which, according to a number of sources, was probably avoidable.
Five men in a speedboat set out in moderate seas but a force six wind was blowing. The speedboat had very little freeboard meaning it was low in the sea. Out in the ocean water lapped over the sides as waves crashed into the hull.
