Tenby lifeboat launches to reports of people cut-off by tide

Tenby’s lifeboat was launched twice in recent days, due to false alarms when individuals feared to be cut off by the tide were simply fishing.
The all-weather lifeboat was launched at 8.45pm on Thursday, June 4, following a report that two people looked to be cut off by the tide at Lydstep.
On arrival at Lydstep, it was clear that the people were fishing and were not cut off, which was also confirmed by them. With nobody requiring assistance, the volunteer crew were stood down to return to station.
The lifeboat was also launched at around 6pm on Sunday, May 31, after several people were reported to be in difficulty off Priest's Nose near Manorbier.
However, on arrival, the volunteer crew discovered that the people were in fact fishing and needed no assistance, so the lifeboat was stood down to return to station.
Sunday's launch was captured on camera by ‘Frank the dog’ - who belongs to RNLI lifeboat mechanic, Pete. Frank has been all over the region with him whilst covering at different lifeboat stations.
Frank gets very excited when he hears the words "Going to Lifeboat" and happened to be watching as the lifeboat launched Sunday evening!
