Last weekend, Angle all-weather lifeboat launched to a motorboat with mechanical issues near Sheep Island at the entrance to the Milford Haven Waterway.

The lifeboat arrived on scene at 5.24pm. The 11.6m vessel was adrift with four people aboard and without any means of propulsion. The lifeboat coxswain, boat owner and HM Coastguard decided that the safest course of action was to take the vessel in tow.

A tow was rigged and the vessel was towed upriver towards Hobbs Point. Arriving off Hobbs Point at 6.39pm, the casualty vessel was transferred into an alongside tow and placed safely alongside the pontoon. With no further assistance required, the lifeboat was released and arrived back at station at 7.15pm.
