Unconscious Woman Emergency Sparks Cowes Lifeboat Rescue

A woman who became unconscious aboard a houseboat led to a dash up the River Medina by Cowes RNLI lifeboat last (Tuesday) evening.

The houseboat was moored alongside a mid-river pontoon off The Folly.

After launching at 5.15pm the lifeboat eventually approached the houseboat and transferred the woman on a stretcher to the Folly; there an ambulance was waiting to take her to St \Mary’s Hospital.

The lifeboat returned to station just before 8.30 pm. Among the four crew, taking part in his first ‘shout’, was Ned Cook.
