Crewboat assisted sinking yacht
The Cleethorpes and Humber lifeboats both responded to a call from the UK Coastguard in the afternoon of Nov 11, 2018, following a Mayday call from a yacht in the mouth of the River Humber which was taking on water. The Cleethorpes lifeboat was requested first and, with a crew of two on board, went to the yacht which was being assisted by the "Iceni Defiant". Having made sure the crew were safe and well, it quickly became clear that it would be impossible to take the yacht safely back to port at Grimsby without the portable salvage pump carried on the Humber lifeboat, which was then requested to join the operation. With the salvage pump on board, the ailing vessel was then taken to Grimsby and escorted to its berth by the Cleethorpes lifeboat, where the UK Coastguard Community Rescue Team from Cleethorpes ensured all was well.
