Lifeboat called out after reports of person drifting out to sea in inflatable dinghy off Colwyn Bay

Llandudno’s RNLI volunteer crew were called out on Saturday evening to reports of a person in an inflatable dinghy drifting out to sea off Colwyn Bay beach.

The inshore lifeboat, Dr Barbara Saunderson, launched after the call was made at 6.37pm and made its way to the given position.

While en-route, it became apparent that a speedboat in the area had been made aware of the situation and had managed to get the dinghy to safety and back to the beach, where Llandudno Coastguard spoke with the person who was on board.

The lifeboat arrived on scene a few moments later before being stood down by the coastguard.
