Cabin cruiser rescued in fading light

10:50am Monday 6th September 2010

THE light was fading fast when Southend’s inshore D class lifeboat was called out to rescue a cabin cruiser Friday evening.

After losing all power it was drifiting out to sea and away from Shoebury Common but nobody was injured.

The lifeboat crew discovered the outboard motor, its only source of power, had fallen off and sunk and they towed the boat back to the old council loading jetty.
