At 11.44 HM Coastguard requested the launch of our ILB, George Bearman II, to assist in a search being conducted by lifeguards off Sandy Bay and Exmouth beaches for a missing 10 year old boy in the vicinity of Orcombe Point. Fortunately, by the time the lifeboat had reached the scene the boy had been re-united with his pet dog and his family. The inshore lifeboat and Exmouth RNLI crew were stood down and returned to the station where they washed down the boat and refuelled, ready for the next tasking.
