THEY DIDN'T HAVE LIFEJACKETS AS THEY LAUNCHED

- By OWEN HUGHES Chief Reporter owen.hughes@dailypost.co.uk

"YOU can't cure stupid" was one person's reaction after a pair received a dressing down on an Anglesey beach.

Moelfre Lifeboat said a team member offered advice to people entering the water at Benllech on a paddleboard and a kayak in unfavourable conditions.

They said the pair "dismissed" the advice on Tuesday despite wind speeds of up to 30 knots at the beach. They had no safety equipment, such as life jackets or buoyancy aids, or means of calling for help.

It wasn't long before they regretted their decision as both came off their small craft in the water around 200 metres off the beach.

Onlookers - including the RNLI member - saw they were in trouble and raised the alert and this saw the immediate launch of Moelfre's inshore lifeboat at around 11am.

A "Good Samaritan" on the beach also went to their aid.
