Moelfre, Anglesey - At 3.17 p.m. on 26th April, 1970, it was learnt that the 22 foot Bermuda-rigged yacht Lively Lady was in difficulties three miles south of the life-boat house and was firing distress signals. The lifeboat Watkin Williams was launched at 3.20 in a near gale force north westerly wind with a rough sea. It was one hour after high water. At 3.50 she came up with the yacht whose mainsail boom had fractured and engine had failed. As her crew of five were exhausted they were taken aboard the life-boat and given refreshments. One of the yacht's crew, who had burnt his hand badly with the flares, was given first aid.

The yacht was taken in tow back to safety, and the life-boat returned to her station at 4.45..
