Summary

Cromer RNLI was asked to launch its inshore lifeboat at 11 27 am. A request had come in from a local crab fishing boat, which had engine problems.

​

Once the crew had been paged, the ‘George and Muriel’, Cromer’s D class inshore lifeboat was launched. Weather conditions were still with the breeze from the North East, the sea state was flat.

​

The crew were soon on scene just opposite the old Lighthouse; assistance was given to the fishermen.

​

By 11 55 am the inshore lifeboat had returned to its station, was washed down refuelled and made ready for its next launch.

​

It was a special occasion for RNLI Cromer as it was the first outing for Matt Hardy – who had recently finished his training to be a volunteer.
