FIRST SERVICE OF 2008

 Sunday 13 January

 Whilst on exercise off Sandsend Ness,  Whitby Lifeboat was contacted on VHF by the 42' pleasure fishing vessel 'Demarok Argus' with 3 persons on board & informed that he had a rope round his propeller & needed assistance. The lifeboat contacted the coastguard to make them aware of the situation & proceeded to the vessel.

 Once on scene it was found that the rope was in fact her own anchor rope & that the vessel was in effect anchored to the sea bed via her propeller. The rope was inaccessable from the boats deck so a tow line was attatched to the vessels stern so the lifeboat could take the weight off the anchor rope & enable the casualty to hook the rope & cut it. Once free, the casualty was happy to make his way home under her own power so was escorted back to Whitby by the lifeboat where both vessels were back in within 40 minutes.

THREE teenage boys had to be rescued by the town's new inshore lifeboat on Wednesday night after they became trapped by the tide at Saltwick Nab.
Humber Coastguard was alerted at around 7.30pm and Whitby’s coastguard team observed the trio, who were at the base of the cliffs, while the lifeboat crew sped to their rescue. The boys, who were 15 and from Whitby, were taken back to Scotch Head where they made their way safely ashore.
