Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, Norfolk - At 1.20 p.m. on 12th April, 1969, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a dinghy with two people on board was in difficulties about half a mile north of the harbour.

The life-boat Khami slipped her moorings at 1.38 in a strong westerly wind with a rough sea. It was shortly after low water. The dinghy was taken in tow to harbour, and the life-boat returned to her station at 1.50..
