We were moored up in Brixham and were crabbing with the Grandkids when we heard the RNLI call out hooter sound and saw the LB go out. No other details though. Glad everyone was OK.

There was much discussion about this incident in Torquay Marina on Sunday, apparently the boat went down off Hopes Nose, luckily the Jennifer Anne dive boat was around at the time to pick them up.

No-one seems to have any details of how/why the boat sank though.
