The first shout was for the all-weather lifeboat and came at 2.40 pm, when Burry Port lifeboat requested assistance to tow a 27ft fishing vessel through the swell on Carmarthen Bar.
The vessel had suffered engine failure and requested a tow back to Burry Port.
The Haydn Miller was soon on scene and took over the tow from Burry Port, with the bigger boat having the necessary power to safely get the casualty vessel through the swell over the sand bar.
Once over the bar, Burry Port took the tow back for the journey into Burry Port, whilst Tenby lifeboat returned to station, arriving shortly before 5 pm.
The second shout of the afternoon was for the inshore lifeboat and came at 3.15 pm, after Tenby’s RNLI beach lifeguards on South Beach reported that several paddle boarders had left the beach earlier in the day, but they hadn’t been seen to return.
The volunteer crew were quickly on scene and performed a thorough search, but with nothing found and nobody reported missing, the search was stood down and the lifeboat returned to station.
The Easter weekend had begun for the RNLI crew when the Inshore lifeboat was launched on Saturday shortly before 3.30 pm following a report of someone having fallen and being injured on Pendine beach, some 6.5 miles North East of Tenby.
With no ambulance immediately available and the casualty in pain, the volunteer crew were quickly on the water and made best speed to Pendine, arriving on scene within 20 mins.
After navigating the lifeboat through the surf, the helmsman put two crew members ashore to assess the casualty and to provide casualty care. The crew were soon joined by members of Tenby Coastguard Rescue Team.
With the casualty in a lot of pain, having both hip and shoulder injuries, the crew liaised with the Welsh Ambulance, who sent their next available crew.
After assisting the Ambulance crew in immobilising the casualty and carrying him to the ambulance, the lifeboat crew returned to the boat and made their way out through te surf, before heading back to Tenby, arriving at 6.05 pm.
