Request from Aberdeen Coastguard to assist fishing vessel 3/4 mile west of the Isle of May, fanned up with his own trawl wire.
Casualty located and two crew transferred to assist the one person on board.
The fishing gear and anchor were retrieved and then a tow rigged for the journey back to Anstruther. The tow was re-rigged to alongside to enter the harbour safely and a beach berth for the casualty.
Because of tide and tractors driver availability the ALB was berthed at Pittenween then rehoused on 03/09/17 at 15:30
