Penarth's RNLI team we're called out to their third shout in 24 hours yesterday after a boat broke down.
They said: "We launched shortly after 3pm today to assist a fishing vessel which had lost power.
"The larger Atlantic lifeboat secured the vessel and returned it to the safety of Cardiff bay barrage.
"All persons safe and well. Third shout for us in 24 hours."
On Friday evening, shortly after 8pm, the team were tasked to assist with a medical evacuation from the beach at Penarth Head.
They said: "A casualty with a leg injury was treated by lifeboat crew and coastguard officers on the scene. The casualty was stretchered along the shore and the care of the casualty handed to a waiting ambulance crew. We wish the casualty a speedy recovery.
"As this incident was unfolding our second lifeboat, the larger Atlantic lifeboat was tasked to evacuate three people who were cut off on Sully Island. The 3 were safe and well and brought back to safety.
"Both lifeboats returned to station, where a well rehearsed series of tasks were carried out including covid-cleaning, refuelling and restocking of supplies."
A busy weekend for the RNLI team.
