on 13th August, 1965, while the IRB was co-operating with the Padstow life-boat on Newquay life-boat day, the crew saw a dinghy in difficulties drifting towards the Towan Headland and Cribba reef. There was a strong south-east by easterly breeze gusting to near gale force and moderate sea. It was low water.
