AND HE’s OFF !

Following the recovery of a very smart all weather rowing craft yesterday ( at the owners request ! ) . The team found him some accommodation last night ( not an easy task on a bank holiday) and collected him this morning, taking him back to the boat and helping him once again set off across the bay on a decent tide .

The very best of luck to him and a safe onward journey, on what is a beautiful day on the bay.

Sincere thanks to our team members for taking such amazing care of this visitor to the area, and getting him safely back out there today .

Here we go - bank Holidays ehh

First task via Holhead this evening a Gentleman run aground in a rather sporty rowing boat, anyway not very sporty when there’s no water in the Bay. So the team went above and beyond, towed his boat to a safe place back on shore , helped him get it secured and then found him somewhere to stay for the night before the next tide tomorrow.

Job two - a call from a member of the public regarding a dog which had chased a young Deer fawn way out onto the sands near Greenodd. The animal she described to us sounded injured, but thankfully soon after we arrived it managed to get up and started walking the several hundred metres back to the main channel and then a short swim back to the woods it came from.

All in all, it’s just another bank holiday weekend on Morecambe Bay

Big tides this weekend people take care.

When in doubt dial 999and ask for the Coastguard

GREAT LITTLE JOB TODAY HELPING TO PREPARE FOR THE RETURN OF A VERY SPECIAL ARNSIDE BOAT

“SEVEN”

Steve from Arnside sailing club “who now own the boat” know as “seven” gave us a very quick history of the boat. It was built in the crossfields boat yard next to the coastguard station on the shore at Arnside in 1912. Now restored to its former glory “ seven” will be coming back to Arnside at some point on the next set of spring tides, for a couple of days possibly before going off to be stored for winter.

This boat really has been through the mill, having had several owners it was presumed sunk, but was eventually found again during dredging on the river Mersey . It’s an amazing story and hopefully when it returns we will have some beautiful pictures for you of this very special vessel.

Thanks to BSARs Paul Matt and Keith who was hanging out the back of the sherp unhitching the anchors in just the right place as we laid the new mooring for her return .

Just after we washed down and drove back to Flookburgh to do some maintenance work we got called out following a report of some children who may have been in difficulty on the sands near Ulverston. Two of us responded from Flookburgh to go see if the children were in difficulty, but our colleagues from Ulverston Inshore Rescue managed to see them clearly from their base and they were in no danger with the tide several hours away and being a very low neap tide too.

All in all a great day

Thanks to Arnside sailing club for their donation today in respect of our efforts.

Remember. If you see someone in difficulty on the coast dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard- they will call us if we are needed.

Callout whilst on Patrol Today 2nd August 26

During a routine pre tide patrol BSARs sherp and crew were asked to respond to two people potentially stuck under the viaduct at Arnside , with the tide bore just fifteen minutes away.

Today luck and Mother Nature were with them as it’s was a very sedate tide at just over 9m and no wind, which gave them time to get out just a few minutes before ourselves and Arnside & South Lakes Coastguard Rescue Team arrived on scene.

Our thanks to the siren operator for Arnside as he had spotted the two people and dialled 999 as he witnessed one of them getting stuck in the channel.

Very Lucky Guys

Great team work
