Two older people waded to safety after abandoning their car on Holy Island Causeway due to high tide.
The UK Coastguard requested the launch of the Seahouses Inshore Lifeboat, which was stood down and returned to the station when it became clear that the occupants of the car were safe. The car occupants were reported to have waded ashore safely and were met by coastguards.
The RNLI got the call at 13:41 on Wednesday, just 26 minutes after high tide at Holy Island. Safe crossing times on Wednesday were from 2.35am until 11.10am and from 3.55pm until 11.25pm.
