MAN TAKEN OFF MOORING BUOY Holyhead, Anglesey. At 10.5 on the night of the 24th June, 1963, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small dinghy with a man on board was drifting across Holyhead harbour.

On visiting the coastguard look-out the honorary secretary saw that the man was in difficulties and had lost an oar.

The life-boat St. Cybi (Civil Service No.

9) was launched at 10.20 in a fresh to strong south-westerly breeze and a choppy sea. The tide was half flood. The life-boat found the man on an Admiralty mooring buoy situated in the outer harbour. The life-boat took him and his dinghy on board and reached her station at 11.30..
