Another good showing for Beaumaris Lifeboat open day on Sunday 15th August for the events including displays of the new Atlantic 85 Lifeboat and the D Class training boat.  The RAF Rescue helicopter was detained for technical reasons but the volunteer Lifeboat crew put on a great display for the crowds.

The volunteer crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat were called out to an incident on Monday 31 May, at 13.45pm and then responded to four successive incidents thereafter finally arriving back at the boathouse refuelled and ready for active service again at 18.05pm.

The first incident was an 8 metre broken down boat off Red Wharf Bay. Beaumaris Lifeboat took over the tow from Moelfre lifeboat taking the broken down boat to Menai Bridge.

While towing the boat to Menai Bridge, Beaumaris Lifeboat picked up a kayaker who was cold and wet at Puffin Sound and took him to Beaumaris before proceeding to Menai Bridge.

On the way through from Beaumaris to Menai Bridge, the volunteer crew passed a broken down boat between Gallows Point and Bangor Pier. Beaumaris Lifeboat dropped the first broken down boat off at Menai Bridge and then returned to pick up the second broken down boat and took it to Menai Bridge.

Beaumaris Lifeboat then received a request from Holyhead Coastguard to attend to another broken down boat in the Swellies. Beaumaris Lifeboat towed this boat to Port Dinorwic.

Beaumaris Lifeboat then returned to the lifeboat station and was being refuelled when it received a request from Holyhead Coastguard to attend an incident off Bangor Pier involving two teenagers in a dinghy. The crew picked up the teenagers and took them to Bangor Slipway.

The Beaumaris Lifeboat then returned to the lifeboat station. The boat was refuelled and ready for service at 18.05pm.

After their very busy weekend the volunteer crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat Station were again called out twice in one day.

The first call was at 15.00 to rescue two male kayakers stuck in the mud near Bangor Pier. Two of the four lifeboat crew were put ashore to help the kayakers carry their kayaks to Bangor Coastguard who were situated by the Old Boatyard at Bangor Pier. Beaumaris’ Lifeboat was back at the station, washed down, refuelled and ready for active service again at 16.45.

The lifeboat crew were again called out again at 21.05 in response to a May Day from a boat off Puffin Island. The 23ft boat with two males on board had a rope caught round its prop and on the lifeboat’s arrival at the scene was 10ft away from the rocks off the Island. The crew towed the boat to the Fairway Buoy and handed it over to Conwy Lifeboat. During the tow the rope was freed from around the prop so the 23ft boat was able to proceed under its own power but was escorted by Conwy Lifeboat back to Conwy Marina.

The volunteer crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat Station were called out three times over the weekend and then again on Monday.

The first incident was on Saturday 22 May at 13.54. The volunteer crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat were called out to assist a boat that had broken down on the Menai Strait and towed it to Menai Bridge.

The second incident was on Sunday 23 May at 12.16 when the volunteer crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat were tasked with searching for two persons that had reportedly jumped off Britannia Bridge. The crew conducted a search of the waters around Menai Bridge and were later stood down.

The third incident was on Sunday 23 May at 16.14. The volunteer crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat were called out to assist a 34ft boat at Felinheli that had a lobster pot caught round its prop. The crew escorted the boat to Port Dinorwic.

The crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat Station were again called out this afternoon at 15.00 to rescue two male walkers attempting to cross the Menai Strait from Llanfairfechan to Beaumaris. The Lifeboat picked the walkers up at the entrance to the Menai Strait and brought them back to Beaumaris Lifeboat Station.
