Skye teenager sails out to rescue two men who fell off toy inflatable

Skye teenager sails out to rescue two men who fell off toy inflatable describes a rescue off the Isle of Skye after two men ended up in difficulty in the water. RNLI volunteers from Kyle of Lochalsh were called to Broadford Bay at about 21:00 on Saturday, following reports that two men had fallen from a toy inflatable. Although the lifeboat launched within 10 minutes, the crew found that a local teenager had already spotted them and taken his own boat to bring both people back to shore safely. After the men were recovered, the RNLI team checked to confirm there were no injuries before leaving the scene. The incident reflects how quickly local awareness can complement lifeboat response during emergencies at sea.
