Four shouts for Angle RNLI

The lifeboat launched shortly after and soon located the vessel at anchor in shallow water. The lifeboat went alongside and after a discussion with the skipper and HM Coastguard, and due to the machinery issues meaning the vessel was unable to navigate to safety, a tow was passed to the casualty vessel.

A short tow commenced and not long after both boats arrived at the entrance to Neyland Marina. The casualty vessel was placed alongside and left safely on the fuel pontoon. With no further assistance required, the crew were stood down and the lifeboat was back alongside the jetty by 12.30pm.

Two days prior on Wednesday 13 November, whilst conducting an afloat exercise the crew were diverted to assist in the search for a person in the West Angle area. The lifeboat made best speed to the area and commenced a search, but was subsequently stood down as the person was located safe and well. St Govan’s and Tenby Coastguard Rescue Teams had also been tasked to assist.

On Monday 28 October at 10.59pm, the crew were paged to join an ongoing search for a missing fisherman at St Brides Haven. Working alongside St David’s all-weather lifeboat, Little Haven inshore lifeboat, Dale and Broad Haven Coastguard Rescue Teams and Dyfed Powys Police, the crew began a search of the area from West Dale up to Jack Sound.

Whilst passing Marloes, the crew spotted lights on the shore and informed teams on the cliff top to investigate. Shortly after, the Coastguard Team confirmed that the lights were from the missing fisherman and that he was safe and well. With the fisherman being walked off the beach, all assets were stood down and the lifeboat was back alongside the jetty and closing down by 12.30am.

The day before, on Sunday 27 October at 10.24pm, the crew were paged to assist an ongoing police incident on the Cleddau Bridge. However as the crew were mustering, the launch was subsequently cancelled as the situation had been safely resolved by the police.
