Kayaker struggling out to sea saved by Tenby RNLI

Tenby RNLI’s lifeboat crew came to the aid of a struggling kayaker who was drifting out to sea during a busy Bank Holiday for the coastal area.

All-weather lifeboat the Haydn Miller launched shortly after 4 pm on Saturday (April 8), following a report of an overdue kayaker out of Saundersfoot.

The lifeboat was soon on scene and the volunteer crew began a search between Saundersfoot and Pendine. A short time later, the kayaker was spotted about a mile south of Telpyn Point, struggling to make way against the tide.

He was then taken aboard and dropped ashore at Amroth where members of Tenby Coastguard Rescue team were waiting for him.

The lifeboat then returned to station, arriving at 4.50 pm.
