The volunteers at Anstruther RNLI were paged to launch shortly before 10pm last night (8 Oct) to assist a 56ft fishing vessel entangled in lines 6 miles East of Fife Ness.
The all-weather lifeboat proceeded in darkness through the forces of Storm Callum, and arrived with the vessel shortly after 11 pm.
The lifeboat crew set up a tow, and the boats made the slow and challenging sail back to the shelter of Anstruther Harbour.
Both boats arrived back in Anstruther shortly after 4 am. The fishing vessel was tied up by the Anstruther lifeboat shore team, who then recovered the lifeboat back into the station ready for the next call.
The Anstruther RNLI volunteers headed home for some sleep at 5.30 am, before they continue with their Tuesdays.
