At two thirty in the morning of 17th November,
the Mi Amigo contacted North Foreland Radio, to report that the main
anchor had been lost, and a spare has been put down. At 08:30, Margate
lifeboat arrived and took off two crew members. The Captain was told that
no tug was available, and was invited to return to shore. The offer was
refused.
The Margate lifeboat had to return to shore at Ramsgate, as conditions
were too rough at her home base of Margate.
At 06:30 on 23rd November, the Mi Amigo left the South Edinburgh channel,
and anchored at a position of 51 39 42 North 01 31 52 East; Seventeen
miles off the Margate coast.
Radio Caroline returned to the air on 26th November, following the
boarding incident two weeks earlier.
The top of the mast collapsed at 22:25 on 1st December, although the radio
ship soon resumed broadcasts
