COASTGUARD LOCATE YACHT ‘TRINA’ FOLLOWING MAYDAY
Humber Coastguard was alerted by Mayday emergency call last
night just after 12.30, midnight, by the yacht ‘Trina’ which was in
difficulties 5 miles South East of Berwick Upon Tweed. There was one man on board
with no reported injuries. He had lost his navigation system and was partially
swamped.
Humber Coastguard requested the RNLI Berwick Lifeboat to
attend the scene. The ship ‘Prudence’ also in the area assisted the lifeboat in
locating the yacht. The lifeboat then escorted the ‘Trina’ back to Berwick.
