The 26-foot vessel Annie,travelling from Campbeltown to Ballycastle had to call on the services of Campbeltown Lifeboat after it hit rocks at Macringan’s Point and was stuck by the stern. The all-weather lifeboat (ALB) was launched at 10.45pm under coxswain David Reid and once on scene it launched its Y-class inflatable. The Y-class boat with Stephen Scally and David Mullen on board pulled the boat off the rocks into deeper water. The craft was taken alongside the ALB and towed back to Campbeltown and safely berthed at the pontoon. She was taken out of the water at Campbeltown slip on Monday morning and it was discovered she had damaged her stern drive. The lifeboat crews were stood down by midnight.
