The sea was smooth with a light north-easterly breeze. The life-boat James and Barbara Aitken put to sea with two other members of the club aboard.

The rubber dinghy was found, with all five men in the water beside it. The engine in the dinghy had failed, leaving them i| miles offshore on an ebb tide. The men were landed at Troon and the life-boat returned to her station at 7.30..
