With Burry Port inshore lifeboats also tasked, as the Angle crew were mustering, the launch was subsequently cancelled when the casualty was located safe and well.

Two days prior, at 11.24pm on Monday night, the crew were tasked to assist three teenagers cut off by the tide between Hakin Point and Conduit Beach.

The lifeboat was soon on scene and located the casualties on the rocks, unable to clamber to safety due to rain making the rocks treacherous.

The lifeboats inflatable Y boat was deployed and all three persons were eventually transferred onto the lifeboat. They were then taken the short distance into the marina and handed over into the care of their family, Dale Coastguard Rescue Team and the police.

With no further assistance required the crew were stood down, where the lifeboat was readied for further service by 1am.
