Tow and Dolphins (with video)
During Sunday morning training the station was informed that a local boat had broken down South of Aberystwyth.
The lifeboat was quickly launched and located the vessel which had suffered from running out of fuel due to a faulty fuel gauge. The lifeboat crew took the casualty under tow back to Aberystwyth harbour but happily suprised to find a pod of dolphins accompanying the lifeboat and casualty back to Aberystwyth.
