2.78 hours at sea


The lifeboat crew was tasked following reports of a male drifting on an inflatable lilo away from Portobello beach.
The inflatable was quickly located, but due to the doubt as to whether someone was on the toy, a full search was undertaken involving shore teams and the helicopter Rescue 199.
