Station Tyne Class "Norman Salvesen" and ILB `Spirit of the RLC`
|
Both lifeboats were requested to launch urgently at 1745 this evening following reports of a person in the water at Pendeen. The launch was cancelled at 1748 - just as the boats were about to launch - when it was ascertained that the person had been recovered from the water onto rocks and other assistance was proceeding from landward. A classic day for this sort of incident - lovely fine weather with what looks like a calm sea, but every ten or fifteen minutes a set of swells coming ashore, plenty large enough to wash the unwary off the cliffs. Thankfully, this incident appears to have had a happy ending. |
