Engine problem – 12/09/2024 – 1340 to 1440 (51)

A boat with 3 POB reported 1nm North of the Thornton Bar with an engine problem. The call was heard by another boat who offered to help. Conditions were good with a 10kt Northwest wind and no significant swell. The stricken vessel was towed safely back to Whakatane. A big thank you to the good samaritan.
