Horrified onlookers called 999 as they saw a man being blown out to sea in a child’s toy boat.
The 30 year old had snapped an oar as he tried to row the garage forecourt type inflatable against a wind gusting up to 20 miles an hour at Thorntonloch beach near Dunbar.
Coastguards requested assistance from the Dunbar RNLI Inshore Rescue boat Jimmy Miff and a number of other lifeboat volunteers went to the beach by road.

 A Swedish couple rescued from mountainous seas and severe gale 9 say they owe their lives to Dunbar’s RNLI lifeboat crew. Jonas and Ingrid Akerblom were 37 miles North East of Dunbar on Friday night when they put out a distress call as their 24 foot boat was battered by 10 metre high waves.
RNLI lifeboat coxswain Gary Fairbairn said conditions were the worst he had seen and the Dunbar’s boats speed was restricted to just 15 knots as he fought huge seas to reach the stricken yacht. It took the Dunbar boat, the John Neville Taylor, three hours to reach the casualty where an ocean going tug was standing by.
