Eschwege pulled disabled m/y to safety
In the evening of Sep 12, 2011, the MRCC Bremen sent the "Eschwege" to the distressed yacht "Brommel" which had suffered engine failure 4 miles northwest of Ahrenshoop. The boat was adrift in choppy seas and the 82-year old skipper had broken two fingers in an attempt to fix the engine. Both crewmembers were very fatigue. The small boat of the "Eschwege" was launched and took the "Brommel" in tow. At 7.30 p.m. it was released by the lifeboat "Vormann Jantzen" which pulled the "Brommel" to port.
