The Coastguard requested attendance to a 19ft Dory with 5 on board, that had run out of fuel at the Homestone and had let off flares. The dive-boat Falcon, skippered by Tony Hoile, an ex DLA, reached the boat first and took them in tow. The incident was observed and monitored by the National Coastwatch team at Froward point. The ILB was escorting the tow back to their mooring in Warfleet Creek when they were diverted to their next shout.
