After flying the flag for the RNLI at Milford Marina's Safety Day on Saturday, Angle's all-weather lifeboat was alerted to go to the aid of a teenage boy trapped on rocks. The Tamar class lifeboat Mark Mason was returning to her station from the Safety Day when she was tasked, by the Milford Haven Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre, at 3.54 pm, to a report of the boy in difficulties at West Angle Bay, but his exact position was unsure. Once on scene, at 4.05 pm, the lifeboat's Y Boat was deployed and the casualty was located inland and about 20 feet up on rocks. As the Coastguard Cliff Rescue Teams were arriving on scene, it was decided to use RAF Helicopter Rescue 169 to evacuate and land the casualty in a field nearby. The Y Boat was then recovered and the lifeboat returned to her station at 5.10 pm. During her visit to the Safety Day, the lifeboat crew welcomed a steady stream of visitors for tours of the £2.6M state-of-the-art Mark Mason and to learn more about the work of the RNLI. Also flying the flag for the RNLI at the Safety Day was the charity's Sea Safety Road Show, which spent both Saturday and Sunday at the marina. A key part of the visit was a lifejacket clinic, with visitors bringing along lifejackets and being shown how to check for faults, how to correctly wear the jacket and what to do for a monthly and annual inspection. Over a third of lifejackets the RNLI sees nationally are faulty, in its opinion, with over five per cent having faults serious enough to prevent their operation. In its first few hours at Milford Marina, the Sea Safety Team had already recommended the disposal of six lifejackets because of faults. The RNLI's Sea Safety Team is made up of highly experienced and knowledgeable volunteer Lifeboat Sea Safety Officers, who provide free sea safety advice - onboard and ashore - to all leisure boat users, from kayaks, PWCs (personal water craft) and dinghies to sailing craft and large motor cruisers. To ask the RNLI for free advice, ashore and onboard, visit the website at rnli.org/advice onboard. One visitor seeking advice on Saturday was Bryn Rees, who has a motor sailer cruiser berthed at Neyland Marina. He described the Sea Safety Team as "brilliant and providing a great service." "It's our responsibility as boat owners to be fully prepared before we go to sea, so we can take every possible step to avoid having to call on the services of an RNLI lifeboat," he said. "Prevention is better than cure."
