As the protest march was coming to an end the St Abbs Lifeboat was called out to rescue 3 fishermen whose boat was sinking.
The crew resonded very quicky and after lauching the lifeboat they reached the sinking boat within 4 minutes. The small fishing boat had started taking on water on the North of St Abbs Head, the proposed D-Class to be based in Eyemouth would have taken 20 minutes to reach the sinking boat.
After the 3 crew were rescue and returned the the lifeboat house, the Lifeboat went back out to recover the boat.
