TENBY’S Inshore lifeboat, the Georgina Taylor, was launched twice in a day earlier this week.

The first shout of the day came at 12:45pm on July 31 after a report that a child had gone missing on South Beach, Tenby.

The lifeboat was quickly on the water, and as the volunteer crew were searching between Castle Beach and Giltar, whilst RNLI lifeguards and Coastguard searched the beach, news came through that the child had been found safe and well.

All units were stood down and returned to station.

The second shout of the day came shortly before 11pm, after a report from a member of the public that a person had entered the water near Goscar Rock fully clothed but had not been seen to return.

The lifeboat was launched within minutes and the volunteer crew began a search between the Lifeboat Station and 1st Point, whilst Police and Coastguard teams searched from the shore.

After a thorough search, and with nothing found and nobody reported missing, the lifeboat was stood down and returned to station at 12.30am.

The crew at Tenby were kept busy later in the week.

On Thursday, August 2, Tenby’s RNLI all-weather lifeboat, the Haydn Miller, was launched shortly after 3.30pm, following a report that two people were in difficulty in the sea off Broad Haven.

As the volunteer crew made best speed to the area along with Coastguard teams and Coastguard Rescue Helicopter 187, news came through that both persons had managed to get ashore themselves and were now safe and well on the beach.

The lifeboat was stood down and returned to station.
