- Coastguard Mana
- Operation Details Date/Time: Thu, 05/01/2023 - 09:30 - 21:30 Operation Type: CG Operation (good samaritan) People Assisted: 2 Total Volunteer Hours: 84 38ft steel yacht got it's anchor stuck near Makara/Ohau. Whilst manoeuvring to release it they overheated the engine. They were unable to sail due to low wind and inexperience, so ended up drifting south in the strong currents. By the time we got to them they had drifted 10NM into Cook Strait, south of Karori Rock through the Karori Rip. It took us 5hrs to tow them back to Mana, by which point the tide was at it's lowest point. We had to put them on the mooring just outside the bar and then return the passenger back to base, leaving the skipper aboard.
