'When going out kayaking please ensure you have all the correct safety equipment and a means to call for help,' an RNLI spokesperson said after multiple kayakers were rescued.
On 9/19/19 at 7:57 AM EDTSeveral kayakers who became trapped in a remote beach cove in the U.K. were rescued this week after scrawling"we're stuck" in the sand, coast guard officials say.
A volunteer crew was launched at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday after a station in Cornwall received reports of a kayaker in difficulty, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution It emerged the person was raising the alarm to help five more kayakers who were sheltering from changing sea conditions at Butterhole Beach after being trapped by an incoming tide. An image taken from the cliff tops at the beach showed the kayakers' large SOS message.
According to the RNLI, a large charity that works independently of the government to save lives at sea, the kayakers were transferred to a lifeboat and did not require medical attention. Padstow Coastguard supported the operation from the large cliffs at Butterhole, officials said.The kayaker who raised the alarm was helped back to Trevone, a local seaside village, by Harlyn Bay lifeguards. The stranded kayakers were returned to the Padstow lifeboat station at 5.10 pm.
Donations to the RNLI surged this week after U.K. Conservative Party politicians criticised the charity for spending money on international projects while it was allegedly facing a shortfall in money and potential job cuts. The remarks were branded as misleading by the charity.
