Staithes Coastguard posted on social media: "Despite their concerns and apologies, they did exactly the right thing calling 999 and asking for us.

"We would rather be called early and be able to assist, than too late.

"For any coastal incident, emergency or if you are, or see someone in distress or potential danger, call 999 and ask for the coastguard as soon as possible."
