Llandudno, Caernarvonshire - At 1.45 p.m. on 29th July, 1967, while the life-boat Lilly Wainwright was on passage to Conway, the crew were informed that a dinghy had capsized off Orme's Head.

There was a fresh south easterly breeze and a moderate sea. The tide was flooding.

The life-boat found three men fishing in a rowing boat but they were not in any danger. The life-boat continued her passage to Conway. At 3.50 p.m. the IRB was launched to investigate a report that flares had been fired off Westshore. The IRB came up with the motor cruiser Anita Mar with engine trouble. There were three people on board. The IRB tried to tow the cruiser but without success. The crew of the Anita Mar were advised to anchor while the IRB proceeded to meet the life-boat to advise them of the position. The life-boat met the IRB at North Deep and then took the Anita Mar in tow to Conway, arriving at 4.40. The life-boat returned to her station after the Conway regatta at 6.45. The IRB returned to her station at 8.20..
