TWO PEOPLE FOUND ASLEEP IN YACHT Rhyl, Flintshire. At 10.5 on the night of the 12th May, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht was anchored between the Welchman and Dee buoys and that there seemed to be no sign of life on board her. He asked if the life-boat could be launched to investigate. A light northeasterly wind was blowing with a slight sea, and the tide was ebbing. At 10.28 the life-boat Anthony Robert Marshall was launched. When she reached the yacht two people were found to be on board, asleep below. They explained that they were waiting for the tide before leaving for Birkenhead. As the weather was deteriorating and the wind was veering round to the east, the yacht was likely to be in difficulty, and the life-boat stood by until she left for Birkenhead. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 3.30 in the morning..
