Sidmouth Lifeboat prepare to rescue kayaker near Jacobs Ladder
Sidmouth Lifeboat was alerted to a kayaker in difficulty offshore near Jacobs Ladder yesterday evening (Sunday) at around 7.30pm.
According to a spokesperson for Sidmouth Lifeboat: "The kayak was sinking and the kayaker was in the water.
"As the lifeboat rig was on the beach about to launch, the kayaker made the shore - wet, but safe and well."
The crew are keen to remind people of the dangers posed to those who enter the sea for any reason.
"Please remember, whether you are local or not, a novice or experienced – the sea can still catch you out.
"If you are going out on the water this bank holiday weekend - or any time - please make sure you check the weather forecast and tides, and have the right safety equipment with you, including lifejackets," they added.
