The volunteer crew members launched the lifeboat and headed to the area.
The rowing boat was identified and the crew members gave safety advice to the persons inside the boat. The ILB then returned to station.
Then the very kind donation of £400 was presented to Paul Turner, lifeboat operational manager, who thanked them and explained that it would be used in buying equipment which will
help to save lives in Morecambe Bay.
