A member of the public spotted a small tender with 2 persons on board in difficulty in the Menai Strait near Gallows point. In a sudden squall with reduced visibility and torrential rain the Beaumaris lifeboat was launched. After a quick search the casualties were located on the shore at Penrhyn Dock where they had just arrived. 2 lifeboat crew were put ashore to check they were ok and then the lifeboat returned to station.
