At 05:12 Falmouth Coastguard requested that Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat be launched to assist the ambulance service following a report of a person requiring medical assistance on the 30ft Yacht Amey which was moored off Mylor Harbour.

The Inshore Lifeboat launched from her slipway at 05:18 and located the yacht on a mooring opposite the harbour at 05:26. Two lifeboat crew were put onboard the yacht to carry out an initial assessment of the casualty while the inshore lifeboat went to the nearby pontoon to collect an ambulance paramedic. The paramedic was then taken out to the yacht where he carried a thorough examination of the casualty. The paramedic decided that the casualty’s condition had improved enough for the casualty to remain on the yacht so at 06:20 the paramedic and his equipment were transferred back to the shore, the inshore lifeboat being released to return to station at 06:30.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 06:47 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 07:05.
