At 1300hr on Thursday 29 August 2013, a local passenger boat skipper informed Seahouses Lifeboat Coxswain that a yacht was aground and high and dry at the Bridges, a location at the Inner Farne Islands. He was concerned for the safety of the yacht when the tide rose, as it was lying hard over on its beam. RNLI personnel then had discussions with Humber Coastguard. No distress call had been made by the yacht.
