19 June: When this eye-catching yacht ran aground with one person aboard, Aldeburgh’s D class lifeboat Christine and Mersey class lifeboat Freddie Cooper had a job to do. It was just after midnight. The yacht was stuck fast, and the lifeboat crew decided to try freeing her later in the day at high tide, taking the sailor back to shore to wait. The lifeboats relaunched at 10.30am and, after several attempts, towed the yacht clear of the riverbank.
