Watch the dramatic moment Moelfre RNLI rescue Thomas who was clinging onto an inflatable dinghy. Moelfre's D class lifeboat was launched quickly to someone being blown out to sea, drifting half a mile offshore. Thomas did the right thing by keeping hold of the dinghy and using it to stay afloat. Inflatables can be great fun when they’re used safely. But every summer, they’re one of the most common reasons our lifeboat crews and lifeguards are called to action.

The boat comes into its own for searches and rescues in the surf, shallow water and confined locations - often heading into choppy seas. #RNLI #Lifeboats #DClass #Clacton #MightyMachines #TakeARide #CruisingLife #InshoreLifeboat | RNLI
