At 17:39 as Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat was returning from assisting the Yacht Little Poppy when they were advised by Falmouth Coastguard that the 20ft Motor Boat Ellie Em had been reported aground under the Bosuns Locker in Falmouth Inner Harbour and requested that the lifeboat proceed to investigate.

The Inshore Lifeboat arrived on scene at 17:41 and having attached a tow line the boat was pulled clear and was taken to the Visitors Yacht Haven where it was safely moored at 17:54, the Inshore Lifeboat then being released to return to station.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 18:01 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 18:20.

The motor boat had broken free from its mooring and ended up ashore near Bosuns Locker but was removed before any significant damage could occur.

This was the last in a series of calls that afternoon with the Inshore Lifeboat attending a person in the water at Portscatho and assisting four vessels in the River Fal and Falmouth Harbour.
