Sloop freed from mud after tide returned
A 26-foot sloop was caught by the outgoing tide and became stuck in the mud and sand at Blackwall Point mid Sunday morning, May 19.
The skipper, from Blackwall, called Marine Rescue Central Coast for assistance.
Rescue vessel CC 22, pictured, was dispatched and an attempt was made to tow the yacht from the sand, but this failed.
It was decided to wait a few hours until the tide had returned before attempting another refloat.
Around 2.20pm, it was agreed the tide was high enough to attempt a second tow, which was successful and the yacht set sail on its way.
