St Davids Coastguard Rescue Team is warning anyone taking to the sea to take suitable safety precautions.

“Please ensure that all those taking to sea know how to read both the tides and weather, planning suitable journeys that reflect skills, experience, conditions and craft.

“Carry various means of communicating with the Coastguard should you require assistance (mobile, VHF, PLB, EPIRB, flares, RYA safetrax). Ensure someone on land is aware of your float plan.

“Thanks to everyone for their assistance and Treginnis-isaf for access.”
