on 5th September, 1965, the motor cruiser Sinus was reported to have broken down four miles north-east of the lifeboat station. The coastguard was informed and the motor cruiser was kept under observation. A light was flashed at 1.20 and the life-boat The Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows was launched ten minutes later. There was a light easterly breeze, a smooth sea and it was high water. The life-boat went alongside the Sirius and two members of the life-boat crew were put aboard her. The motor cruiser was then taken in tow to Blakeney harbour and the life-boat reached her station at 6.15 p.m..
