The 18 meter long  fishing vessel Guide Us – FR 4 became disabled while off Durinish Point, Scotland.  The Guide Us had it’s propeller snagged in the vessel’s nets and disabled the engine.  The fishing vessel drifted toward the rocks and requested assistance.  Two nearby fishing vessels responded to the mayday call and took the Guide Us under tow.  The Kyle of Lochalsh RNLI lifeboat arrived on scene and assisted keeping the Guide Us from going ashore.  The RNLI lifeboat from Portree arrived a short time later and took over the tow.  The two lifeboats with the Guide Us under tow proceeded to Kyleakin Harbour.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
