CREW OF THREE Salcombe, South Devon. At 5.2 p.m.

on 9th October, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a sailing yacht appeared to be in distress two miles west-north-west of Bolt Tail. She was tossing in a moderate sea and strong north-westerly breeze. At 5.20 the lifeboat Baltic Exchange put out on a flood tide. She reached the yacht Sweet Sue, which had a crew oif three. As the yacht was not in difficulty the life-boat escorted her into harbour, reaching her station at 7.40..
