Search for missing person
Beach launch of the Atlantic class lifeboat to search for missing person.
The Arancia class lifeboat began a search from the harbour, Southwards to Morfa Bychan whilst the crew had to take the larger atlantic 85 class lifeboat spirit of friendship to the secondary launch site on South beach due to the low tide. After launching the crew recovered the tractor and trailer whilst the Atlantic carried out a shoreline search Northwards from Aberystwyth.
Neither boats found anyone so both were stood down, the Arancia was able to get back into the harbour but because the tide was still low, the Atlantic carried out a 60 minute training exercise until there was sufficient water to recover safely.
