Engine problem – 11/05/2019 – 12:16 to 14:45

A boat reported 1 km off the Ohiwa Bar with an engine problem and requested a tow. The call was heard by another boat who offered to help. The stricken vessel was taken under tow back to Whakatane.Whakatane Rescue was tasked to take over the tow. Both vessels crossed the  Whakatane Bar and arrived safely back in the harbour.A big thank you to the Good Samaritan.
