Scarborough Lifeboat crews were called out twice on Sunday
The volunteer crew were called out twice yesterday afternoon, with both the RNLI team saying shouts highlighting the importance of swift multi agency response at the coast.
At 3:44pm a concerned member of the public reported two kayakers off the headland who appeared to be struggling to return to shore.
The ILB launched and quickly located the kayakers, who were safe, well equipped, and enjoying watching dolphins. No assistance was needed and the crew were stood down.
The just before 6pm the ILB was tasked again, this time to a report of a male with his foot trapped between rocks below Holbeck.
A shoreline search was carried out, and as the ILB arrived on scene, a Coastguard swimmer had just reached the casualty.
RNLI crew provided casualty care on scene, and the individual was then transported by lifeboat back to Scarborough Lifeboat Station, where he was handed over to North Yorkshire Ambulance Service for further treatment.
Scarborough RNLI say:
"A huge thank you to our volunteer crew and our colleagues at HM Coastguard and Yorkshire Ambulance for their teamwork and fast response.
If you see someone in difficulty at the coast or on the water, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard. It’s always better to call if you’re unsure."
