Summary

A capsized boat from Loch Aoineart was rescued.

A boat from Loch Aoineart capsized. The contributor's father went for the brother of one of the crew (Alasdair MacRae). He took his boat out to search for them. Several others joined in. The fog came down and darkness was falling, but the crew were found safe on top of their upturned boat. Neither the contributor's father nor Alasdair MacRae got any food until next morning, having had nothing to eat all day. The rescuers were given £1 each.
