Fuel – 09/26/2015 – 11:07 to

A 4.6m boat with 3 POB reported petrol problems 500m off Whakatane Bar  and requested a tow into port. An all stations alert was transmitted and a good samaritan offered to tow the boat back to port. Conditions were a bit windy with 13-22kt SE breeze and 0.5m swell from NE and a low tide. At 1157hr both boats were safely back at the boat ramp. Many thanks for the good samaritan.
