Sixteen paddleboarders landed themselves in dangerous water on the west Wales coast while they were totally oblivious to the threat they were in. The local RNLI had to launch their biggest vessel as part of the rescue, which was shown on BBC's Saving Lives at Sea.
During summer, just off the coast from St David's, the group of 16 paddleboards came into trouble while near Ramsey Island. They had paddled out from the harbour and were totally unaware of the dangers surrounding their trip.
The island was surrounded by strong currents which would have easily pulled the paddle boarders out to sea, making it very hard for them to battle back to shore. It took a local tour guide boat to point out to the paddleboarders that one of their team had already floated out to sea and that it would not be an easy journey back.
