The volunteers of Beaumaris lifeboat receive their third launch request of 2017.
At 11.33 am on Tuesday 3 January 2017 at the request of U.K.Coastguard the volunteer crew members of the R N L I Beaumaris lifeboat were paged to attend at an incident involving an individual on a beach near the town of Menai Bridge.
The Beaumaris Inshore Atlantic 85 Lifeboat Annette Mary Liddington was in the process of launching when at 11.36 am the launch request was cancelled by the U.K.Coastguard.
Fortunately in this instance the service of the lifeboat was not required as the incident was resolved by north Wales police and the Bangor Coastguard Rescue Team.
As on the first request of the year the lifeboat had not entered the water consequently the boat was rehoused and the crew did not need to spend time having refuelling and cleaning the vessel.
