23:38 - 05:55

ALB launched at 23:48 to go to the assistance of 26ft yacht 'AROSA' with 3 POB, approx. 3 miles off the coast at Bacton
The casualty had suffered steering failure
The ferry PRIDE of BRUGES gave assistance by providing cover from the weather for the lifeboat to establish a tow
At 01:00 the ferry was released by the lifeboat and the Coastguard
At 01:05 the mayday was cancelled and at 01:10 the lifeboat proceeded to tow the casualty to Great Yarmouth, arriving there at 05:55

The lifeboat will remain "off station" due to poor weather conditions making it too dangerous to re-house!

The lifeboat returned to station on August 9th and was made ready for service at 18:25
