Haydn Miller launched after two paddleboards get blown offshore.
Tenby’s all-weather lifeboat launched at 1.05pm on Sunday 3rd October, after the Coastguard received a call stating that two paddleboarders were being blown out to sea off Coppet Hall beach.
Having made the short trip to Coppet Hall, the volunteer crew soon spotted the two paddleboarders several hundred metres offshore.
They were taken aboard the lifeboat, where they were checked over to make sure they didn’t need medical assistance, before being dropped back to Coppet Hall beach, where members of Tenby Coastguard Rescue Team were waiting for them.
The lifeboat then returned to station.
