DUNBAR'S RNLI lifeboat crew went to the aid of a fishing boat five miles of the coast after its steering failed.
The 'Spitfire' fishing boat was making slow progress back to Dunbar Harbour, steering with the aid of fish boxes dangling over the side. Dunbar RNLI second Coxswain Mark Anderson was in charge of the rescue, and said it was extremely cold as the crew left their berth at Torness at 2pm.
