Dungeness, Kent - At 7.13 a.m. on 27th June, 1966, a vessel was seen in distress off Denge Marsh. The life-boat Mabel E. Holland was launched at 7.25 in a gale force west south westerly wind and a rough sea. It was one hour after high water. She found the yacht Idle Moment, of London, anchored about 150 yards off shore, with a crew of two on board. A towline was passed to the Idle Moment and the life-boat towed her slowly to Dungeness East Bay. The casualty's crew were taken on board the life-boat and twomembers of the life-boat crew were put aboard the yacht. The yacht's anchor cable had been cut when the towline was secured, and as there were no other means of mooring her, the life-boat towed her to Folkestone harbour. The Mabel E. Holland returned to her station at 2.30 p.m..
