Tenby’s all-weather lifeboat the Haydn Miller is back in operation after undergoing maintenance, and was soon in action, assisting a fellow RNLI crew in locating a person cut off by the tide.

On Tuesday (October 10), after succesful sea trials following a period of maintenance, Haydn Miller was brought back to Tenby.

A volunteer crew left Tenby in the relief boat and headed the short distance around to Milford Haven, before boarding the Haydn Miller to return to Tenby.

Whilst south of Caldey Island, the lifeboat was tasked to Worm's Head to assist Horton inshore lifeboat in locating a person cut off by the tide.

The lifeboat arrived on scene just after Horton and assisted in the search, while Coastguards and members of the NCI searched ashore.

The casualty was soon found and picked up by the inshore lifeboat, before being dropped ashore to the awaiting Coastguards.

The Haydn Miller then returned to station, some six hours after the crew originally left Tenby.

The Haydn Miller has been out of action since August, when it headed off for a refit and routine maintenance.

In the meantime, Tenby’s crew have been heading out to call-outs during the busy summer on relief Tamar lifeboat the Victor Freeman, as well as the inshore lifeboat.
