Lifeboat took off crew from grounded German motor yacht

On the evening of June 8, 2024, the German flagged pleasure yacht 'Angela' from Westerenmde ran aground in the Seaport Canal near Delfzijl within sight of the harbour with two people on board. Another skipper tried to help, but because the tide was low, it was no longer possible to refloat the yacht. The lifeboat 'Jan and Titia Visser' was deployed from Eemshaven and assessed that the pleasure yacht was too tilted to allow the people on board safely. They therefore transferred to the lifeboat and were taken to the port of Delfzijl, waiting for the next high tide so that the pleasure yacht could be towed off.
