Alongside volunteers at Exmouth and Teignmouth RNLI, our volunteer lifeboat crew responded to the tasking by HM Coastguard around 10am on Christmas day to assist in the multi-agency incident involving people in difficulty in the water at Budleigh Salterton.
RNLI lifeboat crews were involved in the recovery of one person from the water and continued to search throughout the day for two people understood to still be in the water. All lifeboat crew were stood down by the Coastguard around 5pm, when they returned to stations.
Conditions at sea were challenging, heading into powerful North Easterly winds. The crews involved in the search at sea were out all day conducting systematic search patterns, accompanied by HM Coastguard helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.


thank you for trying so hard to save these poor souls giving up your family Christmas’s to help. God bless you all
