On Monday 30 August 2010 at 12:10 pm the volunteers at the RNLI station at Burry Port launched to search for two surfers in difficulty at Rhossili Bay.
After a search involving Burry Port’s Blue Peter II, Sea King Rescue 169 and a coastguards unit the two surfers were found to have made their own way ashore.
The Atlantic was crewed by Gary Morgan, Lee Howells and Susanna Morgan.
At 7:40pm the crew were tasked for the second time to assist a Dory which had run aground at the entrance to Burry Port Marina. The Dory, with two crew on board, was being swamped and the two crew were thrown into the water.
The Burry Port Inshore lifeboat The YoungWatsons took the two elderly gentlemen on board and brought them into the marina. One of the casualties was administered oxygen and kept warm the other just kept warm. The two were taken to hospital by ambulance.The boat was left at anchor to be recovered by the owners.
The inshore lifeboat was crewed by Owain Davies, Justin Pugh and Hefin Williams.
