Was sitting on anchor at Hicks Bay when a yacht made a distress call on the vhf. I listened for the position and checked the location on my plotter. they were only 6nm away with a broken motor. So I hauled anchor and went to the assistance.  I towed them back to hicks bay. they had only just purchased the yacht and had never sail before. so I showed them how to anchor Sorted the motor with a temporary fix and then gave them a crash course on sailing. At least now if the motor stops again they can at least put some canvas up.
