 ALB & ILB
 
HMCG requested immediate assistance from ALB to assist 33' yacht with 3 persons on board 4 miles south of Anstruther with its propeller fouled.
ALB launched and located the casualty, established persons on board all well and set up tow back to Anstruther.
It was decided that assistance was required from the ILB to enter the harbour, ILB was launched and additional crew transferred to casualty vessel to set up an along side tow.
casualty then safely towed to its berth on pontoon, with ALB standing by.
No further assistance required ILB rehoused, ALB waited for 1hr to rehouse because of high tide.
