Sidmouth Independent Lifeboat and Lyme Regis Lifeboat work together to safely return two casualties to Sidmouth

June 18, 2022

Date: 17.06.22

Time Launched: 19:20

Callout #: 4

Sidmouth Independent Lifeboat was tasked to assist Lyme Regis Lifeboat with the transfer of casualties from a vessel under tow, back to Sidmouth. 


Using the Sea Rider (Sidmouth 2) Sidmouth Independent Lifeboat rendezvoused with Lyme Regis Lifeboat, and transferred the two casualties back to Sidmouth – both were tired, but otherwise well. 


Sidmouth 2 then returned to Lyme Regis Lifeboat and took the casualties’ vessel under tow, to bring the vessel back to Sidmouth, returning to station at 20:20.


Many thanks to everyone involved.
