Publicity launch becomes shout for Criccieth RNLI Lifeboat
At 2.22pm Criccieth's RNLI Lifeboat was called into action whilst on a publicity exercise launch.
As the Lifeboat was returning to the Station, HM Coastguard requested it attended to a broken-down water bike some half a mile south of Criccieth Beach.
The water bike with two persons on-board, from the north east Wales area, had broken-down whilst they watched the Lifeboat display. The Lifeboat Crew took both persons aboard the Lifeboat, attached a towing rope to the craft and returned it to Black Rock Sands where it launched earlier in the afternoon.
