Scarborough RNLI was called to assist two people in difficulty on Thursday morning (October 9)
The call for help was received at 8am and Scarborough’s Inshore Lifeboat John Wesley Hillard IV was paged, launching shortly after.


After a coordinated search, the individuals were located by the RNLI crew and were making their own way out of the water slowly.
They were confirmed to be safe and well and handed over to HM Coastguard.
