Falmouth Severn Class All Weather Lifeboat - RNLB Richard Cox Scott (17-29)

At 02:32 as Falmouth All Weather Lifeboat was being made ready for service following the previous incident when Falmouth Coastguard requested that the lifeboat launch following a call from the police expressing their concerns for a person who had been seen to leave the shoreline in an oyster punt.

The All Weather Lifeboat left its pontoon berth at 02:40 and commenced a search of the inner harbour at 02:45. The search was carried out using the lifeboats night vision and thermal imaging equipment but nothing was located so at 03:21 the coastguard called off the search and the lifeboat was released to return to station.

The All Weather Lifeboat was back alongside its pontoon berth by 03:27. The lifeboat was then refuelled, and was ready for service by 03:40.
