Bridlington RNLI reports paddleboarder found safe after search
Bridlington RNLI says its inshore lifeboat diverted from training on 7 November to help search for a possible missing paddleboarder near Belvedere. The person was subsequently found safe along the shoreline.
Bridlington RNLI has reported that its inshore lifeboat joined a search near Belvedere after HM Coastguard raised concerns about a paddleboarder on Saturday 7 November.
The volunteer crew was taking part in a planned exercise when the request came at 3.40pm. They headed to the last reported position and examined an object in the water, which proved unrelated to the incident.
Following liaison with the local Coastguard rescue team, the paddleboarder was located safe further along the shore. The lifeboat stood down at 3.55pm and returned to service after recovery and preparation. RNLI published its account on 9 November.
