Inshore lifeboat rescues couple

A couple and their dog were rescued after running aground on a 26-foot yacht off Exmouth yesterday.

 

The RNLI's inshore liftboat launched around 1 o'clock and took them into the marina - where the sailors were given advice and told to wait for the tide to lift.

 

The incident took place in front of the British Surf Life Saving inshore rescue boat championships which were in Exmouth yesterday.
