Request from Aberdeen Coastguard to assist FV with mechanical difficulties two miles SE of Pittenweem harbour with two persons on board. ALB launched and located the casualty with overheating engine.
The casualty vessel was taken in tow to Pittenweem harbour where it managed to restart the engine and berth under her own power.
 
The ALB remained in Pittenweem because of tidal restrictions in Anstruther. Crew recalled at 0030hrs to rehouse
