Tuesday, July 4 was a busy evening for Tenby RNLI, with two shouts for the inshore lifeboat crew in just over an hour.

The first launch of the evening came shortly after 6.15pm, after a report that a kayaker seemed to be struggling to make way against the wind at tide off Coppet Hall.

After a brief search, the kayaker was located and confirmed that he was fishing and in no need of any assistance.

The volunteer crew returned to station.

The second launch of the evening came at 7.40 pm when a dinghy was reported to have been blowing out to sea off Saundersfoot.

The volunteer crew were quickly on scene and performed a thorough search between Saundersfoot and Amroth.

With nothing found and kayakers and boats in the area confirming they’d seen nothing, the incident was decided to be a false alarm and the lifeboat returned to station, arriving at 8.25 pm.
