IN ROUGH SEAS Torbay, South Devon. At 11.28 a.m.

on 9th October, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a large yacht was anchored off Teignmouth in rough seas and a strong easterly wind. It was three hours after high water and too rough for the yacht to enter the harbour. At midday the life-boat Princess Alexandra of Kent put out to find if help was needed by the yacht, which was in a dangerous position. The two men aboard the yacht Nell decided to make for Brixham but as their progress was very slow the life-boat towed them to Brixham and returned to her station at 3.18 p.m..
