Inshore Lifeboat Tasking whilst on Exercise

Incident De-brief – Friday 31st July 

INSHORE LIFEBOAT: Tasking whilst on Exercise

At 19:14 Tuesday evening (Tuesday 27th July), Jersey Coastguard requested the tasking of Albert Pinel during its usual Tuesday training exercise in response to a kayak which had been found upside down in a cave in Portelet.

With the crew of four already aboard conducting training the  Albert Pinel paused the training exercise to proceed to the location. Once the Albert Pinel was on scene a thorough shorline search of the area from Quaisne point to Noirmont point was carried out by the crew. This task had been reported earlier by a fisherman who was unable get to the Kayak concerned. Once searches were completed by the crew and the kayak recovered Jersey Coastguard was happy that all avenues were covered and the Albert Albert Pinel was stood down at 19:38

The ILB proceeded out of tasking to continue on with their training plan.

The incident was subsequently classified as a call with good intent the lifeboat was stood down and returned to training.

It was undoubtedly a worthy call to confirm the situation was not anything more serious which Jersey Coastguard act upon in all occasions like this.

With Albert Pinel washed down, refuelled and made ready for service once again after their completed training plan, it was finally home time for our volunteer crew.
