Haydn Miller launched after dinghy reported overdue at Rhossili
Tenby’s RNLI all-weather lifeboat Haydn Miller launched at 4.40pm today (26th August) after Milford Haven Coastguard received a 999 call reporting that a dinghy with two people aboard was overdue at Rhossili.
As the lifeboat made best speed to the scene, a further 999 call confirmed that the dinghy and its occupants were now safe ashore and required no assistance.
The lifeboat was stood down and returned to station, rehousing at 4.55pm.
