5 Shouts on Bank Holiday Monday

The volunteer crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat were called out to an incident on Monday 31 May, at 13.45pm and then responded to four successive incidents thereafter finally arriving back at the boathouse refuelled and ready for active service again at 18.05pm.

The first incident was an 8 metre broken down boat off Red Wharf Bay. Beaumaris Lifeboat took over the tow from Moelfre lifeboat taking the broken down boat to Menai Bridge.

While towing the boat to Menai Bridge, Beaumaris Lifeboat picked up a kayaker who was cold and wet at Puffin Sound and took him to Beaumaris before proceeding to Menai Bridge.

On the way through from Beaumaris to Menai Bridge, the volunteer crew passed a broken down boat between Gallows Point and Bangor Pier. Beaumaris Lifeboat dropped the first broken down boat off at Menai Bridge and then returned to pick up the second broken down boat and took it to Menai Bridge.

Beaumaris Lifeboat then received a request from Holyhead Coastguard to attend to another broken down boat in the Swellies. Beaumaris Lifeboat towed this boat to Port Dinorwic.

Beaumaris Lifeboat then returned to the lifeboat station and was being refuelled when it received a request from Holyhead Coastguard to attend an incident off Bangor Pier involving two teenagers in a dinghy. The crew picked up the teenagers and took them to Bangor Slipway.

The Beaumaris Lifeboat then returned to the lifeboat station. The boat was refuelled and ready for service at 18.05pm.
