False alarm call for Lizard and Pelnee lifeboats.

Two of the most recent Penlee lifeboat shouts tracked by Vesselracker AIS

Both the Lizard and Penlee lifeboats were involved in a shout on Saturday evening - never the most social time to have the bleeper go off. Undaunted, both boats put to sea after red flares were reported off Mullion. Sadly, the time spent at sea searchin was in vain as it eventually became clear that the shout was indeed a false alarm.

An expensive waste of time, effort and not to say cost of fuel with around 3000hp worth of engine power being unleashed between the two vessels.
