After their very busy weekend the volunteer crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat Station were again called out twice in one day.
The first call was at 15.00 to rescue two male kayakers stuck in the mud near Bangor Pier. Two of the four lifeboat crew were put ashore to help the kayakers carry their kayaks to Bangor Coastguard who were situated by the Old Boatyard at Bangor Pier. Beaumaris’ Lifeboat was back at the station, washed down, refuelled and ready for active service again at 16.45.
The lifeboat crew were again called out again at 21.05 in response to a May Day from a boat off Puffin Island. The 23ft boat with two males on board had a rope caught round its prop and on the lifeboat’s arrival at the scene was 10ft away from the rocks off the Island. The crew towed the boat to the Fairway Buoy and handed it over to Conwy Lifeboat. During the tow the rope was freed from around the prop so the 23ft boat was able to proceed under its own power but was escorted by Conwy Lifeboat back to Conwy Marina.
