Latest Shouts
Three people saved from certain tragedy when their boat went down 12 miles off Happisburgh. See full report on latest shouts.
Following a 999 call from a member of the public the Lifeboat was launched at about 6.15pm to carry out a sea search North of the Caister Lifeboat shed from the Haven Holiday Camp up to Hemsby. Coxswain Paul Williams, Assistant Coxswain Tommy Williams, Crewman Alex Low and Crewman Jason Delf were on the boat.
The sea was rough and despite the difficult conditions a close to shore search was completed to the North and back followed by a search further out, the RAF search and rescue Helicopter then joined us and repeated our search from above.
Coast guard vehicles searched the shoreline supported by the lifeboat inshore lifeboat tractor.
The Coastguard abandoned the search after an hour after no evidence of a person at sea was discovered.
