An inflatable dinghy with three people on board that was being blown out to sea has been rescued by Berwick RNLI.
A statement on its Facebook page says that its inshore lifeboat was launched at 3.23pm this afternoon (Monday) at the request of the UK Coastguard.
It adds: “An inflatable dinghy that was tethered to the shore on Spittal beach had broke free and was being blown out to sea on a fresh westerly breeze.
“Our ILB intercepted the inflatable about half a mile from Spittal beach with three persons onboard.
“They were returned to the shore into the care of Berwick Coastguard rescue team.”
