Volunteers from Ramsey RNLI went to the aid of an injured person cut off by the tide on Monday evening.
The person was cut off by the tide between Ballure Beach and Port Lewaigue. Sea conditions at the time of the rescue were described as moderate with a strong westerly breeze.
The volunteer crew of the all-weather lifeboat ‘Ann and James Ritchie 2’ launched at 6:45pm under the command of Coxswain Mark Kenyon, arriving on scene at 6:53pm.
Two crew members rowed to the casualty an the inflatable X-boat before they were transferred to the lifeboat and taken to Ramsey Harbour, met by Ramsey Coastguard.
They were then checked over by paramedics while the lifeboat waited for the tide to ebb to allow its recovery.
Mark Kenyon said: “It is always advisable to check tidal conditions before walking in areas likely to be compromised by high tides.
“If you do find yourself in difficulties then do not hesitate to ask for assistance.”
