The Eastbourne RNLI Lifeboat’s volunteer crew had a busy Bank Holiday weekend, responding to four call outs between April 7th and April 9th. The team provided assistance in a variety of situations, including a search for a missing person, support for police and local coastguards in sensitive incidents, and towing an angling boat to safety.
In the early hours of Friday, April 7th, the crew was paged at 00:30 hrs to launch the Inshore Lifeboat in search of a person reported missing near Beachy Head. Despite an extensive search, no one was found and all assets were stood down. The lifeboat returned to the boathouse at 02:45 hrs.
