Stronsay, Orkneys - At 7.55 p.m.

on 6th August, 1967, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a motor fishing boat was ashore on Lashy Skerry, Calf of Eday. The life-boat The John Gellatly Hyndman slipped her moorings at 8.15 in a slight variable wind and a slight sea. The tide was flooding. On arrival the life-boat found that the crew of two of the lobster boat Pansy of Sanday had been rescued by the Eday CRE team. The life-boat towed the Pansy off the Skerry and beached her in Carrick bay. The crew of the Pansy were conveyed by the life-boat to Kettletoft pier, Sanday, and she returned to her station at 11.35..
