Haydn Miller assists swamped kayak off Stackpole.
Tenby's RNLI all-weather lifeboat was launched at 4.40pm on Monday 26th April, after the Coastguard received a call from members of the public stating that they could see a Canadian-style canoe that had become swamped between Stackpole and Broadhaven.
Once aboard the lifeboat, they were checked to make sure they didn't need medical attention, before being dropped into Stackpole quay, where they were met by members of St Govans Cliff Rescue Team.
The lifeboat then returned to station, arriving at 5.45pm
