9 April: Bridlington, Yorkshire Four fishermen were rescued by two lifeboats when their vessel, the Serene, ran aground after it lost power. Bridlington RNLI’s two lifeboats tried to pump the water from the boat, but in increasing winds the seas broke over the boat filling it with water. The crew tried to set up a tow but could not move the Serene and, at risk of going aground themselves, decided to take the fishermen safely ashore.
