Two local children have won this year's yellow welly treasure hunt held by the RNLI at Penarth.
Around 60 local shops businesses in the town took part in the annual competition, each inviting children to find a numbered yellow welly in their window.
The winners, William Sanders and Grace Irish, received their prizes from operations manager Phil Lay at an end-of-summer BBQ social at the lifeboat station on Saturday, attended by RNLI volunteers along with their friends and family.
One of the station's non-operational volunteers Kath said: "I want to say thank you on behalf of all the non-operational volunteers of RNLI Penarth for the invitation to the crew barbecue yesterday."
"I have heard many comments from those that were there, not only about the quality of the food and the way it was cooked and served, but also the opportunity for people to get together and their partners to be involved."
Later that evening, crew members dealt with two callouts - the D-class lifeboat was launched at around 6.30pm following reports of a swimmer entering the water but not seen exiting near the pier.
After an hour-long search, nothing was found and the boat was stood down.
A few minutes later, the Atlantic 85 lifeboat was sent out to a broken down yacht drifting towards the shallows just north of Cardiff docks.
The skipper had been abe to drop anchor, but in difficult conditions, they had lost their tender onboard and a crewman had fallen in the water, but managed to recover himself. After helping the skipper to recover the yacht’s anchor, it was towed to safety through the Cardiff Bay Barrage.
