Buckie lifeboat called to broken-down fishing boat
By
A father and son were left stranded in the waters of the Moray Firth this morning when their fishing boat broke down.
The Buckie lifeboat was called to help when the vessel’s engine stopped working around one mile east of Findochty at around 10.15am.
The lifeboat towed the boat into the harbour by 10.45am.
An Aberdeen Coastguard spokesman said: “The Buckie lifeboat went out to tow in a little boat with two guys on board, just broken down because there was water in the fuel.
“They called us about 10.15am. They got back in just on 10.45am.”
