Taking on water – 12/20/2021 – 16:00 to 18:03

A yacht reported In McEwans Bay off Motohoura Is that is was taking on water and requested immediate assistance. An All Stations call was made and a boat offered to help. The boat stayed with the stricken vessel until Whakatane Rescue II was launched, and arrived at the location. The stricken vessel was towed safely back to Whakatane. A big thank you to the good samaritan.
