A Dinghy (2)

Rhyl, Flintshire. At 2.26 p.m. on 18th August, 1965, the Prestatyn police reported that two youths were in difficulties in a dinghy off Central beach, Prestatyn, and at 2.38 the life-boat Anthony Robert Marshall was launched in a strong south-westerly breeze, moderate sea and high tide. A helicopter co-operated in the search. The life-boat found the dinghy, empty, three-quarters of a miles north-east of Prestatyn. The youths had swum ashore. The life-boat towed the dinghy to Rhyl and returned to her station at 4.34 p.m..
