Bembridge RNLI Answers Late Night Mayday

Bembridge's RNLI volunteer lifeboat crew has been called out following a distress call from a yacht.

The mayday alert came in at 11pm last night from the yacht, which was a mile off the coast of Bembridge.

The vessel had run aground but the crew aboard, which consisted of two adults and two children, were safe and awaiting the return of the tide.

The RNLB Norman Harvey D-Class lifeboat quickly identified the boat and checked on the crew, establishing all was well. 

The lifeboat was back to bed by midnight.
