Fishing vessels aground at Amsteldiep

In the evening of Jan 6, 2016, the Den Helder KNRM-lifeboat "Joke Dijkstra" was alerted to two stranded fishing vessels. The "Rik Jelle - WR 212" ran aground at the Amsteldiep, followed by the "Elizabeth Halber - EH 44" which got stuck itself while trying to assist the colleagues. The "Joke Dijkstra" set course to Amsteldiep short past midnight. The jets of the boat were used to wash away the sand at the grounded cutters. Then the lifeboat got them quickly off. The Wieringer cutter had his propeller still in the water and after some pulling backed off, followed by the Enkhuizer cutter short time later.
