THE start of the weekend was to result in a call to action for Buckie volunteer RNLI lifeboat crew.
A spokesman for the lifeboat station said: "The crew were paged at 8.19pm on Friday, July 10 after reports of a creel boat in difficulty off the coast between Hopeman and Lossiemouth.
"Once on scene, the lifeboat stood by while the casualties were safely and successfully transferred onto MIRO [Moray Inshore Rescue Organisation] rescue craft before returning home.
"The lifeboat returned to her moorings at around 9pm."
The call-out was the third time Buckie lifeboat has been called into action since the lockdown began in March.
