Vision of Tamworth
THREE people were rescued on Foulney Island after being cut off by the rising tide.
Volunteer crew from the RNLI's Barrow station launched their inshore lifeboat this afternoon to the aid of three members of the public who had become stranded.
The initial request for help came from Holyhead Coastguard at 3.36pm, and the 'Vision of Tamworth' was launched just minutes later with Dave Kell at the helm assisted by two crew.
The three members of the public had become cut off on the island by the rising tide but with the assistance of the lifeboat, they were safely returned to the shore.
The lifeboat was stood down at 3.55pm.
