Rhyl's all-weather lifeboat rescued three people in an inflatable boat who were blown offshore earlier today.
The boat which set out from Colwyn Bay was located with the help of Google Maps and an airplane, 2.7 miles North of Llanddulas.
The casualties were taken aboard and treated for cold before being safely returned to land.
Paul Archer-Jones, duty Coxswain said, "This could have been quite a serious incident, the strong winds created some pretty difficult conditions for us to locate the casualty vessel. Luckily with the help of all the teams involved we were able to bring the casualties safely ashore.
"We always recommend if you are going to sea to take a means of calling for help, preferably a VHF radio, always wear a lifejacket or buoyancy aid, and check the weather forecast before heading out".
