Penlee and St Mary's lifeboats both out on shouts

Five south west lifeboats have been called out on shouts today - from Appledore in Devon to Fowey, St Ives, Newlyn and St Marys on the Scillies........

 The Penlee boat Ivan Ellen launched at 14.54 and headed out due south from Newlyn is currently making her way back to Newlyn........
while the St Mary's boat, The Whitheads was called out to escort the yacht Harmonii into the islands.........
not the sort of trip you would want to make without having the kind of intimate knowledge of the waters around the islands that local skippers have!
