IOS stand in Lifeboat was called out to look for a boy who had gone swimming off a beach on St Mary’s.

The regular lifeboat ‘The Whiteheads’ has been away for vital maintenance for the past few months. The Stand in lifeboat is very similar to ‘The Whiteheads’.

The lifeboat was called around to Porth Cressa, from where the boy had been lost. His clothes had been left at the top of the beach.

However, the lifeboat soon returned to it’s moorings, so it is assumed the boy was found elsewhere.
