ObanRNLI in Western Scotland launched to the aid of a yacht that has dragged its anchor in strong northerly winds on Friday afternoon (23 May).
The 30ft yacht with two people on board had run aground in the popular anchorage of Puilladobhrain, at the north end of Seil island.
As the all-weather lifeboat Mora Edith MacDonald made best speed towards the anchorage, however, the volunteers learned that the yacht had managed to refloat itself and its crew repositioned their anchor.
