St. Mary's, Scilly Islands. At 4.58 p.m. on 28th November, 1965, the honorary secretary learnt from the coastguard that the motor vessel Marchion Enterprise had taken the yacht Barranquilla in tow with a broken propeller shaft coupling and a fouled rudder. The yacht had a crew of five. Their position was then about 90 miles south west of St. Mary's and the master of the motor vessel asked if the life-boat would take over the tow when they were nearer St.

Mary's. At 3.29 p.m. the next day the coastguard requested that the life-boat Guy and Clare Hunter be launched at four o'clock and she proceeded in a moderate to fresh south westerly breeze and a rough sea. It was three hours and a half before high water. The life-boat met the motor vessel Marchion Enterprise fourteen miles south south west of Bishop Rock lighthouse and took over the towage of the Barranquilla to St.

Mary's harbour, arriving at 10.10 p.m..
