Ramsey Lifeboat were called to the aid of a person who had been cut off by the tide east of Port Lewaigue earlier.

The volunteer lifeboat crew of the all-weather RNLB Ann and James Ritchie 2, under the command of Coxswain Mark Kenyon, launched at 10.55am.

The crew were able to recover the casualty from the rocks and took them back to Ramsey.

Mark Kenyon, Coxswain of Ramsey RNLI, commented “We would strongly advise people to always check tide times and heights and to keep a look-out for incoming tides. Always carry a means of calling for help and if you see someone in danger, call 999 and ask for the coastguard."
