A motor cruiser has been rescued after it suffered engine failure in the Bristol Channel.
The RNLI at Penarth sent out its Atlantic 85 lifeboat shortly before 11pm on Sunday night.
The stricken vessel was said to be at risk of ending up in shipping lane six miles from Penarth towards Clevedon.
The cruiser was located after the volunteer crew were given its GPS coordinates.
An RNLI spokesperson explained: "There is the possibility of the lifeboat and the casualty vessel being at risk whilst recovery is being performed. For large ships to manoeuvre in the dark knowing there are vulnerable vessels is a stressful scenario."
Communications with a nearby vessel and Bristol Port were established to agree crossing and advise of the motor cruiser's position, before it was towed to the Cardiff Bay Barrage and made safe on the water taxi pontoon.

Earlier on Sunday morning, the Penarth lifeboat crew was called out to take part in a two-hour search of Cardiff Bay and the River Rhymney.
The operation, involving the Coastguard helicopter at St Athan and South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, ended without any reported sightings.
Later on that morning, the D-class lifeboat, Spirit of Penarth II, was due to join a training exercise when it suffered gear problems and had to be taken back for repairs.
