The volunteer crew of RNLI Beaumaris lifeboat station were called out last night at 21.05 in response to a ‘may day’ call from a boat off Puffin Island. The 23ft boat with two males on board had a rope caught round its propeller and, on the lifeboat’s arrival at the scene, was 10ft away from the rocks off the Island.
The crew towed the boat to the Fairway Buoy and handed it over to RNLI Conwy lifeboat.
During the tow the rope was freed from around the propeller so the 23ft boat was able to proceed under its own power, but was escorted by RNLI Conwy lifeboat back to Conwy Marina.
The RNLI is a registered charity which relies solely on voluntary donations to provide its life saving service. To make a donation call the donation hotline on 0845 121 4999.
