A Northumberland lifeboat crew rushed to the rescue of a yacht stranded near Holy Island over the Bank Holiday weekend.
On Saturday, the Seahouses Inshore Lifeboat was summoned to the aid of an 11m yacht after its anchor became stuck near the island of Lindisfarne. The stranded crewmember had called the Coastguard for help at 4.02pm and the Seahouses team was dispatched.
A second lifeboat had to be called out to complete the difficult rescue, but eventually the boat was freed and brought to safety.
