It was low water with a slight sea and moderate south westerly breeze. At 5.38 the life-boat Thomas Forehead and Mary Rowse put to sea but was recalled when it was reported that a naval helicopter from Culdrose was towing the cabin cruiser Aphrodite to Looe. The cabin cruiser, which had a crew of two, was safely berthed in Looe and the life-boat returned to her station at 6.5..
