Once refloated, the Flamborough RNLI volunteer crew safely escorted the vessel to North Beach, Bridlington.

Following the service, Forever Yibba (B-959) returned to the station, where the volunteer crew and shore crew cleaned and refuelled both the lifeboat and launch tractor, ensuring they were ready for the next service.

The lifeboat was returned to full readiness following the service, with all equipment checked and prepared for any future callouts.
