All of the Southport Lifeboat assets were paged to approximately 40 people who had been cut off by the incoming tide flooding the Pier Channel on Southport beach yesterday ( 30/5/20 - 15:21).
The quad team quickly deployed and began to guide people to safety, whilst the Lifeboat and ILB searched the Penfold and Pier Channels respectively.
The Lifeboat then ran down to Ainsdale Beach to stand by in case anyone got into difficulty from the incoming tide there, whilst the quad team helped locate the family of child who had been found missing at Southport with Southport Coastguard CRT.
Then, the Lifeboat UAS (drone) team noticed a further three people who had been cut off by the Pier Channel. The ILB and Quads helped ferry the family back across the channel to safety.
The team was finally stood down at 17.20 and returned to station.

Agreed! They should be billed the cost of the callout.

Just how many people are unaware that when a tide goes right out - it starts coming back in again?
