Members of Minehead RNLI help the man just before Sunday's Raft Race
ONE unfortunate soul required the RNLI's help at the Raft Race, and he wasn't even competing in the race!
Minehead's D class lifeboat was called just before Sunday's Raft Race to rescue a gentleman stuck in the mud by the harbour entrance with the tide coming in.
Some quick thinking by the crew and with loan of a mattress from the 'Bouncy Castle' man, the gentleman, believed to be in his seventies, was safely recovered.
