Look at this for a shout! My mates are in the lifeboat in Abersoch (N Wales) and got called out on Sunday/Monday at 2am to rescue someone from the harbour. They didn't bother with the boat and called in the heavy artillery!

Here's a couple of pics to wet yer pants over Rich. Took these while on a visit to my bro's in Newcastle with you in mind. Pics are of a place called Seahouses just south of Holy Island which we also went to on a day out.

Callout tonight. IMMIDIATE launch given. This means life in extreme danger.

 

Kayak was reported missing, friends if the man reported him missing to coastguard, he left the beach next to the harbour and wasn't seen again as thick fog rolled in very quickly.

 

Lifeboat launched for a complete search of the harbour and sourounding beaches. A kayak was spotted by ferry workers off one of the berths. But no one spotted and kayak was upside down.

 

Lifeboat on scene in seconds of report, man was found holding onto upturned kayak very wet and very cold. On recovering onto lifeboat was suspected intoxicated. Returned to station and handed over to port police for investigation. Was 3 times the legal limit for driving.

 

He was at a berth and if one ferry came in he would have been sucked under it and we would have been picking bits of kayak up.

 

A very lucky man.

No, a very stupid man.

 

Yeah but I'm not allowed to say that out loud. Drunk in charge of a kayak. Need to be a law against it that's for sure. Held up 3 ferries while we where searching.

Should you really be divulging this kind of information on a public forum??
