1 man and his dog
Both boats were launched to assist a man and his husky dog, who had been cut off by the tide whilst out for a walk.
The Arancia went in close and picked up both the man and his dog, with the intention of transferring them to the larger Atlantic which was waiting off providing cover. However the dog was very nervous of the engine and it was decided to get him and his owner back to harbour as soon as possible. The Arancia returned to harbour and quickly returned the dog to shore, where it got a lot of fuss from the crew.
