RNLI VOLUNTEERS were called out of their beds just after midnight during 41mph winds, to reports of a missing swimmer in the Cosheston area of the Cleddau.
The early morning call from HM Coastguard led to the launch of the lifeboat in rough seas, but by 00:50 HRS the missing man had been located on dry land.
On Facebook the RNLI said: “Angle Lifeboat crew were paged at 00:21 this morning.
“They were tasked to a missing male in the Cosheston area who may have gone swimming.
“The lifeboat launched at 00:34, with the wind blowing from the west at 36 knots (just over 41mph), to assist in the search.
“The lifeboat and her crew were stood down at 00:50 as the missing male had been found safe ashore…wearing a wetsuit.
“The lifeboat rehoused at 01:20 and the crew headed back to bed.”
