Ferry assisted crew of distressed German yacht
On Nov 2, 2013, the crew of the "Dokter Wagemaker" sighted distress signals of the German yacht "Nordic Blue" which had run aground on the shore of Texel. The KNRM was able to locate the ship based on the position given by the ferry as the four sailors aboard the yacht had been unable to give a reliable position. They had been underway from Borkum to Den Helder and ran aground in the Molengat at 8:30 p.m. The volunteers of the KNRM stations Texel and Den Helder attended, but the "Beursplein 5" and "Joke Dijkstra" were unable to approach the boat in the surf. Only the "Zalm", the smallest of the lifeboat of the KNRM, which was launched from the beach, was able to reach the ship was meanwhile flooded. The crew was taken off and taken to Texel. The yacht was completely destroyed.
