Beaumaris and Porthdinallaen lifeboats launched in response to a Mayday call.

The Beaumaris Inshore Atlantic 85 Lifeboat Annette Mary Liddington was launched at 8.00 pm and made her way to the Caernarfon area and then commenced an inshore search whilst the Porthdinllaen lifeboat searched further out to sea.

In addition to the lifeboats the Bangor and Llandwrog Coastguard Rescue Teams also attended to search the shore line.

As nothing was discovered the U.K Coastguard centre at Holyhead Informed the lifeboats they could return to their respective stations at 8.50 pm.

The lifeboat returned to station at 9.30 pm and was refuelled and prepared for service by 10.00 pm
