Our volunteer crew were paged at 22:25 tonight following reports of a kayaker in difficultly off the coast of Ardross. Our D class lifeboat conducted a thorough search along the coast between St Monans and Elie while Coastguard ground teams conducted similar shore-based searches. With nothing found, our lifeboat returned to station and was made ready for service shortly after midnight. This was a false alarm with good intent.
