Whilst on exercise at the entrance to Dartmouth Harbour the crew of the inshore lifeboat observed a vessel being towed by another. It was established that the twenty foot angling boat Highlander with two on board had broken down with a fuel fault whilst seven miles offshore of Dartmouth. The vessel Bares Watching was passing on her way to Torquay and had towed the Highlander back to the entrance of the Dart. The inshore lifeboat took over the tow and returned the Highlander to her mooring in the Noss Marina.
