Lifeboats were called to assist two paddleboarders who were reported to be in difficulties by Benllech beach recently. Volunteer crew members of the Beaumaris lifeboat had launched an exercise near Penmon Point at 6.15pm on Monday, June 26, when shortly after they received a tasking request from H.M. Coastguard relating to two paddleboarders at 6.59pm.
In tandem, the Moelfre Inshore Lifeboat Enfys was also tasked by the H.M. Coastguard to help with the search. The Moelfre lifeboat located the two paddleboarders already back ashore and went to check that all was well, and that they didn't need any assistance.
Upon confirmation that no help was needed, the H. M. Coastguard stood down the Beaumaris lifeboat which then resumed her exercise eventually returning to Beaumaris at 8.25pm.
A RNLI spokesperson said: ‘It was a great example of co-operation between the two stations in responding to this service call out’.
