Callout 17th October 2020
Our in-shore lifeboat, D-719, launched at 9:39am on Saturday 17th October to rescue a bait digger who had miscalculated one of the highest Spring tides of the year and needed rescuing urgently.
The inshore lifeboat Mary Elizabeth Barnes quickly made its way to the scene, several hundred yards from Marine Hall, Fleetwood, with only water between the casualty and the shore.
By the time the volunteer crew reached him, he was chest deep in water and struggling to stay upright.
Helmsman and station mechanic, Daryl Randles said: ‘the casualty was sensible and experienced enough to anchor himself to the sea bed and not risk falling into a deep gully. He was obviously cold and wet when we picked him up, but he soon warmed up with a hot shower back at the station. He was very lucky in the end, the outcome could have been so different. But it does show you that even the most experienced can get into trouble. I think he was relieved when we picked him up’.
