Tenby’s lifeboat crew had a busy Sunday (August 9)?afternoon with two shouts in the locality.

The first shout of the day was for the Georgina Taylor inshore lifeboat and came at around 4.25 pm, when the Coastguard received a report that a dinghy had been spotted on the rocks at Priest’s Nose, Manorbier.

The volunteer crew were quickly on the water and made best speed to the scene. On arrival, they spotted a small dinghy on the rocks.

After making sure none of the three occupants needed medical assistance, the dinghy was taken off the rocks and then towed around to the safety of Manorbier Beach, where the vessel and the three casualties were put ashore.

The second shout of the day was for the all-weather lifeboat the Haydn Miller at 7.20 pm, after a report from a member of the public at the top of the cliff at Skrinkle, stating that a person seemed to be in difficulty in the water below.

After racing to the scene, the volunteer crew soon spotted the swimmers, who appeared to be snorkeling.

Upon speaking to them, they confirmed that one of them had lost sight of the other whilst under water and had raised the alarm but they were now fine.

With the snorklers in no difficulty and now making their way ashore, the lifeboat stood down and returned to station.

After a chat with the divers by RNLI, they came ashore at Lydstep and were met by Coastguard officers who checked if any medical assistance was required and issued safety advice.
