Water rescue
In windy conditions, two paddleboarders were blown out of Glencoyne Bay and were unable to return to the shore. The police initiated a multi-agency response by the Team; the Fire and Rescue Service, NWAS and the Coastguard. The Team launched RIB Patrick Pete, but the two paddleboarders were quickly located by Steamer Lady Dorothy, taken onboard and transferred to Glenridding pier where they were assessed and discharged by an NWAS crew.
