Lifeboat Launched to Persons Assisting Stranded Dolphin
The Skegness Inshore Lifeboat was launched at 17.40hrs on Friday, 5th June after a request was made by the Local Coastguard, following a report of multiple persons in the surf assisting a stranded dolphin.
The lifeboat was requested to monitor the situation after the Local Coastguard arrived at the scene of the incident.
The dolphin was assisted back into the water and was observed by the crew to swim off in a southerly direction. The Inshore Lifeboat returned to base at 18.30hrs.
The adverse weather conditions made the launch one of the most testing so far this year.
The crew list was Joe Pieniak, Will Watson and Craig Hopkins, this being Craig’s first call-out after joining the RNLI in December, 2008.
