It was a late night for our volunteer RNLI crew who launched at 10.42pm on Wednesday 12 August 2020 to reports of a vessel taking on water 4 miles north of Trevose.
The lifeboat arrived on scene and transferred two crew members with a salvage pump to the Stella Maris. Using the pump Padstow lifeboat crew got the situation under control and then towed the Stella Maris safely into Padstow Harbour. Padstow lifeboat was refuelled and ready for service by 2.20am.
