The warm weather prompted a third callout in three days for Barmouth RNLI. The Inshore Lifeboat, the Clive Tanner, was launched at 11.04 on Saturday 1st October in response to a call from the Coastguard Agency to a vessel that had broken down while leaving Barmouth.
The engine of the 26ft yacht Cameo had failed while leaving Barmouth Harbour and, without power, the yacht was drifting back in on the incoming tide. The crew of the vessel had dropped anchor to avoid being swept into the bridge when the ILB arrived and attached a rope. The boat was towed to Barmouth harbour where the crew were able to disembark safely.
