Volunteer’s sea rescue from shop 6,400km away

A LIFEBOAT crewman orchestrated a dramatic sea rescue 6,400 km away in the Caribbean from a DIY store in Britain.

When Alex Evans answered his mobile phone he was stunned to hear best friend Mark Corbett, 25, shouting: “Alex I’m in the s*** and I need your help.”

The RNLI volunteer, 27, from Aberystwyth, west Wales, was even more perturbed when he learned his friend claimed he was in a fast-sinking ship called the Titanic.
