At 14h00 on 26 December 2011, NSRI East London volunteer sea rescue duty crew were activated following a request for assistance from the 6.5 meter fishing boat Rock ‘n Roll reporting to be experiencing engine trouble and gearbox problems off-shore of Cove Rock, 25 nautical miles South of East London.
NSRI East London launched LOTTO RESCUER and on arriving on-scene rigged a towline and towed the vessel, with 3 adult male crew onboard, all from East London, to East London safely.
The tow, in 1.5 meter choppy sea swells took 4 hours.
