Launches
A boat owner boarded his 5.5 metre Shetland cabin cruiser with the intention of motoring to the Dart Marina for a lift-out. He bailed the boat out but when he set off both engines on board failed and he managed to propel himself, with a single oar, back to the pontoon off the entrance to Old Mill Creek that he had left. He had no means of getting ashore and contacted the Coastguard. The inshore lifeboat took him in an alongside tow to the Dart Marina.
