A member of the public came to the lifeboat station asking for blankets and assistance as a local fishing boat had recovered a lady that had self-harmed and entered the water. The Coxswain and Mechanic were on duty and responded.
 
The casualty was taken off the fishing vessel and into the Lifeboat station where first aid was given until the ambulance arrived and handed over for hospital treatment.
