SICK SKIPPER

FRASERBURGH | 29 NOVEMBER
Volunteer crew at Fraserburgh acted quickly when a skipper of a nearby fishing boat made an emergency call for help after falling ill. The crew aboard the all-weather lifeboat left the harbour immediately. They located the fishing boat quickly, drew up alongside and carefully transferred the sick man onto their lifeboat. They swiftly returned to Fraserburgh (pictured) where an ambulance crew looked after the skipper.
