Lifeboat brings Sanity back to Sheppey

A cabin cruiser called Sanity was towed to safety by the Sheerness lifeboat.

The RNLI's volunteer crew of the all-weather George and Ivy Swanson was called by the UK Coastguard at 8.39pm on Wednesday after a report that the eight-metre cabin cruiser had broken down and its two-man crew needed urgent assistance.

The lifeboat found the craft at anchor one mile off shore near Eastchurch Gap, Warden at 9.20pm. Both its engines were not working.

The lifeboat was back on station and ready for service at 10.52pm.
