At 14:42 Falmouth Coastguard requested that Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat be launched to assist the police in a search for a missing person between Porthkerris and Lowland Point in the Manacles. The Porthoustock Coastguard Mobile and Cliff Team were also tasked.

The Inshore Lifeboat launched from her slipway at 14:50 and arrived on scene at 15:08. The Inshore Lifeboat was requested to carryout a shoreline search and in view of the tidal conditions and time elapsed since the person had last been seen Falmouth’s All Weather Lifeboat was also requested to launch to assist in the search.

At 15:21 it was confirmed that the missing person had been located ashore and all units were released to return to station.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 15:40 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 16:09.
