The crew of Beaumaris Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat Annette Mary Liddington were first paged at 11.04 am and the lifeboat launched at 11.12 am and proceeded to an 18 foot power boat located near Puffin Island with one person aboard with a faulty engine.
 
Once on scene the lifeboat placed a crew member aboard the craft a towed the vessel to a mooring near Bangor pier.
 
The lifeboat returned to her station at 12.30 pm being refuelled and prepared for further service by 1.15 pm.
 
The crew then received a further page at 11.33 pm and the lifeboat launched at 11.43pm, this time in response to a report made by the police to H.M. Coastguard that a tender with 6 persons aboard appeared to be encountering difficulties in  returning to their yacht.
 
Once at the seen the lifeboat used night vision equipment to locate the tender and yacht and it soon became apparent that the tender which actually  contained five people and a dog had made it back safely to the yacht.
 
The lifeboat then proceeded back to the station at Beaumaris at 12.33am being refuelled and once again made ready to be exhibited to the public during the food festival on the Sunday.
