At 12.27 HM Coastguard tasked our D Class Inshore Lifeboat, George Bearman II, after concerns had been raised following the discovery of clothing and shoes left on Budleigh Salterton beach, despite RNLI Lifeguards South & East Devon flying red flags due to unfavourable sea conditions.
The Exmouth RNLI inshore lifeboat was launched with four volunteer crew members aboard to assist Exmouth Coastguard Rescue Team in a search. Following an extensive search, no-one was found to be in the water and all agencies were stood down by the coastguard.
Our ILB returned to the station where it was washed down, refuelled and made ready for the next shout.
