The lifeboat was called again to people in difficulties on an inflatable.
The Lyme Regis RNLI lifeboat launched today (Thursday) just before 1pm to reports of two people on an inflatable 600m off Freshwater Bay.
As the lifeboat crew arrived on scene it was clear the two people were safe and well and being assisted by the West Bay harbourmaster’s launch.
Coastguards then stood down the Lyme Regis lifeboat crew.
This was the 34th call for help for the volunteers of Lyme Regis lifeboat so far this year.
Two men were rescued after drifting three miles off Abbotsbury on an inflatable dinghy on August 8 and the lifeboat was called again to two men in a deflating dingy off Abbotsbury. There were also reports of a young girl drifting out to sea on an inflatable off Freshwater on August 8 but this turned out to be a false alarm with good intent.
