Two more trapped teenagers rescued by the RNLI
It's the second time in less than a week the crew were called to the same spot
Three days after Cowes RNLI lifeboat was involved in the rescue of two teenagers at Thorness the lifeboat was again tasked to the same spot last night (Wednesday) to rescue two other teenagers.
This time, however, they were two boys and not a girl and boy, and they were caught at the bottom of the cliff by the tide. Fortunately the Cowes lifeboat was able to quickly respond to a request by the Coastguards, received at 8 pm, as they were already out on a night-time exercise.
When the crew arrived on the scene they found two very muddy and cold teenagers. They are taken by the lifeboat to Trinity Landing where they were received by Island coastguards. Then the mother of the especially cold youngster drove him to St Mary’s Hospital for treatment.
The lifeboat returned to station at 8.45 pm.
