Norland grounded off Thurso

The Thurso RNLI lifeboat was called out in rough sea conditions in the morning of Sep 25, 2012, after athe "Norlan - Bf 362" struck rocks to the East of Thurso. The "Taylors" launched at 3.50 a.m. after the Banff registered fishing vessel had got stuck at Murkle in force 7 to force 9 NE winds. The coxswain made contact with the "Norlan" immediately on the lifeboat's launch to discover that the casualty had managed to refloat itself using the rising tide. The lifeboat continued to the casualty coming alongside within five minutes where it escorted the Norlan and her crew safely back to Scrabster Harbour arriving at 4.15 a.m. There did not appear to be any damage to the "Norlan" on its arrival at the harbour.
