REFLOATED Anstruther, Fife. At 5.3 p.m. on ist April, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the motor fishing vessel Quiet Waters was ashore off Pittenweem harbour entrance. The lifeboat James and Ruby Jackson was launched at 5.20 in a light east-south-easterly breeze and a smooth sea, two hours after high water. At 5.25 a message was received that, because the tide had receded, the life-boat would not be required. She returned to her station, arriving at seven o'clock.

At i.io a.m. on the 2nd April, the lifeboat proceeded again towards Pittenweem as attempts were to be made to refloat the fishing vessel. She arrived off the position of the Quiet Waters and stood by. Another fishing vessel Harvest Reaper had a tow line aboard, and at 2.20 the Quiet Waters was towed clear and both vessels proceeded into Pittenweem harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 2.40 a.m..
