Beaumaris lifeboat launched to assist a Jet Ski near the Faenol Estate.
A report was received by the U.K.Coastguard at Holyhead that a Jet Ski was in difficulties in the Menai Straits by the Faenol Estate. They requested that the volunteers of the Beaumaris Lifeboat launch to assist the Bangor Coastguard Rescue team that was also being deployed.
The pagers of the Beaumaris Lifeboat volunteers sounded at 1.54 pm and at 2.05 pm the Inshore Atlantic 85 Lifeboat Annette Mary Liddington was launched on service.
It was now reported that the occupant of the Jet Ski had made it ashore but the craft itself was adrift in the channel and thus creating a danger to safe navigation of the Menai Strait.
Just as the Lifeboat was passing Menai Bridge pier the U.K.Coastguard informed the lifeboat that they had now established that both the craft and the occupant has reached the shore.
As a result of this information the lifeboat was instructed to return to her station arriving at 2.22 pm and being cleaned and refuelled by 2.55 pm.
