Following a call from the UK Coastguard at 9am on 10 September, Cromer’s inshore lifeboat George and Muriel was launched to a report of problems on a 24 foot yacht called the Seahorse with two persons on board. The yacht was approximately 3 miles off East Runton.
There were reports of engine problems and a rope around the propeller. On reaching the yacht it was decided that it would need to be taken to Wells for repairs, to be carried out by Cromer’s all weather lifeboat. By 9.45am the inshore lifeboat had returned to station and been made ready for its next call
Cromer’s relief lifeboat RNLB Peter and Lesley-Jane Nicholson was soon on the scene and made fast a tow and they set off to go 19 miles to Wells. The yacht was left at anchor to await the harbour boat to tow in when tide was high enough. Cromer’s lifeboat returned to station at 2.20pm and was rehoused, refuelled, washed down and made ready for its next call by 2.45pm.
