NSRI Hout Bay duty crew launched the sea rescue craft NADINE GORDIMER to assist the 22 foot fishing boat YSTER-AAS suffering motor mechanical failure while returning to Hout Bay from fishing with three local Cape Town fishermen from the Northern Suburbs onboard.
They were 6.5 nautical miles
from Hout Bay and were being towed by a fellow boat GT after suffering motor
mechanical failure but now needing assistance as the boat towing them was the
same size boat making a tow effort difficult.
NSRI Craig Lambinon said on
arrival on-scene an NSRI rescue swimmer was put into the water to rig a towline
and he then remained on the casualty boat.
Lambinon said the NSRI sea
rescue craft towed them safely to Hout Bay harbour without incident arriving in
Hout Bay harbour at 23h00 and once safely in the harbour no further assistance
was required.
