Engine problem – 12/06/2022 – 14:20 to 16:08

A boat reported East of Kohi Pt with an engine problem and requested assistance. Whakatane Rescue II was launched and located the vessel. However,  the boat was close to the rocks so a second Coastguard boat, Awanui, was launched. Awanui towed the stricken vessel away from the rocks to Whakatane Rescue Ii. It was then towed back to Whakatane.
