Birdwatchers on Filey Brigg saw a 2m dinghy capsize in poor weather on 9 September, throwing its two occupants into the water.

Filey’s D class Rotary District 1120 sped to the scene and found one man just about to  disappear under the surface. A crew member quickly went into the water to help recover him. After hearing that the second man was safe, the lifeboat immediately returned to land, giving first aid and oxygen to their casualty until paramedics arrived.
