St. David's, Pembrokeshire - At 12.38 a.m. on 24th May, 1968, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the motor launch Saro I, with three people on board, had broken down two miles south of Ramsey Island. The life-boat Joseph Soar (Civil Service No. 34) launched at one o'clock in a strong south easterly breeze and a rough sea. It was one hour after low water. The life-boat came up with the motor launch five miles south of Ramsey Island and took her in tow at reduced speed to Solva harbour. Low water in the harbour prevented the mooring of the Saro I until 3.4. The life-boat stood by while attempts were made to restart the engine of the motor launch. The crew of the Saro I eventually decided not to proceed on passage that day and the life-boat returned to her station, which she reached at 4.50. A helicopter was present during this service..
