“Team tasked by UK Coastguard to reports of a drifting vessel in the River Dee between Greenfield and Bagillt.
On scene at Greenfield Dock Flint OIC spoke to two local fisherman who confirmed they had seen the vessel adrift and had launched their boat to recover the drifting vessel and brought it back to a secure mooring at Greenfield.
