Near rocks ON WEDNESDAY EVENING June 27, 1984, the 52ft Arun relief lifeboat A. J. R. and L. G. Uridge, on temporary duty at Fishguard, was out on exercise when she heard that MFV Sea Hawk had broken down close to the rocks under Strumble Head. It was a fair evening with a moderate to fresh breeze blowing from west north west, but the sea was choppy and there was a four foot swell.

The Arun lifeboat, with Coxswain Francis George in command, set out for Strumble Head at full speed, reached Sea Hawk at 2010, took her in tow and brought her safely to Fishguard Harbour, where she was placed on her own mooring at 2105..
