Both Whitby lifeboats were involved in a search for a Kayaker yesterday.
The volunteer lifeboat crews were taking part in a routine training exercise yesterday when the inshore lifeboat was tasked to search for a kayaker in the water.
After an extensive search by both Whitby Lifeboats the kayaker was found safe and well.
The crew say:
"Thankfully on this occasion this was a false alarm with good intent, we would like to thank the member of the public for their vigilance in reporting to us what they had seen.
Thank you also to the local fishing vessel that assisted with the search.
If you see someone in trouble in the water dial 999 and ask for the Coastgaurd."
