At 1750 on Friday 8th June, St Peter Port Lifeboat was launched to attend to M/V “Phoebe”, a 25ft motor boat which had suffered engine failure approximately 20 nautical miles North West of Guernsey in the approaches to the Casquets traffic separation scheme. The vessel had been on passage from Plymouth to Guernsey with 2 persons on board.
St Peter Port Lifeboat arrived on scene at approximately 1910 and attached a tow line to the stricken vessel. Neither of the 2 crew members were injured and the vessel was towed safely back to St Peter Port harbour arriving alongside shortly after 2230.
