THE Beaumaris Atlantic 85 lifeboat Annette Mary Liddington was diverted from exercise at 3.55 pm to attend the incident. Which had occurred by Beaumaris Pier.
In addition to the lifeboat the following emergency services also had been tasked, Bangor and Penmon Mobile Coastguard Rescue Teams plus a Coastguard mud rescue unit together with a Fire & Service unit from Menai Bridge and their flood rescue unit from Bangor plus an Ambulance.
As one of the lifeboat volunteers was competent in mud rescue from his employment in the fire service, and with an incoming tide the coastguard agreed for him to lead the rescue attempt.
This was successful and as soon as the mud had been cleaned off the casualty he was checked over in the ambulance and was suffering no ill effects, was then reunited with his parents.
The Lifeboat the returned to her station at 5.15 pm being refuelled and cleaned under the Covid precaution regulations and made ready for her second exercise session which commenced at 6 pm.
