One Prawn Trawler Rescued from Trouble.

John Kinsman

The Brighter Morn , a prawn trawler from Barra, fouled her propeller and was adrift north west of the Cairns of Coll in strong winds and 4 metre seas last Monday, May 16th. The Tobermory all-weather RNLI lifeboat was launched at 3-30pm and, on reaching the drifting trawler, established a tow line, and brought the trawler into the safety of Tobermory harbour. On arrival at the harbour, at 7pm, essential repairs were carried out, and the Brighter Morn was able to return to her home port on Barra and land her catch of prawns.
