As reported in the last issue of the Lifeboat, Loch Ness lifeboat station joined the RNLI fold on 2 April, and the crew have since been out on a number of shouts. At the time of writing, they had assisted two grounded cruisers and two yachts that had slipped their moorings. The first was adrift in the middle of the night with a still-sleeping crew onboard. Lifeboat Crew Member Martin Douglas says: ‘The yacht’s crew were understandably surprised to be woken to a slightly different view of the loch than they’d seen before bedtime!’
