At 2033 the lifeboat was released to return to station after the young Polish man had been found by a Police unit cold and wet but safe ashore and walking back to his accommodation at Home Farm.
The “Betty and Thomas Moore” arrived back at station2040, rehoused straight away and was ready for service once more by 2100.
