If you find yourself in a position where, for example, you
have run out of fuel; your engine doesn’t start or you have engine trouble; try
obtaining assistance by flagging down a passing boat.
If you are unable to do this or there are no boats around
you, please telephone us on 01389 757295.
Staff at the Duncan Mills
