Beaumaris volunteer lifeboat crew had a busy start to the school Easter holidays as they were called out on service three times in three days.
The first call out for the volunteer crew was at 10.01am Saturday to respond to a 9.7m yacht with an overheated engine in Friars Bay. The yacht, from Bangor with three adult crew on board, was towed to Beaumaris and put on a mooring in the bay.
The volunteer crew were called out for the second time on Saturday at 4:33pm to respond to a 15ft fishing boat taking in water off Caernarfon Bar. The lifeboat crew assisted the RAF rescue helicopter winch the three crew off the fishing boat who were then taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd. The fishing boat sunk so the lifeboat crew were working with the coastguard on recovering the boat.
The volunteer crew were called out again this morning at 3:00am to respond to an incident involving a rowing boat without oars adrift with two men on board at Friars Bay. Both men and boat were recovered and brought back to Beaumaris Lifeboat Station.
