AN AMOROUS couple who took to sea in a dinghy sparked a major rescue operation when their lovemaking was mistaken for cries for help. Police and lifeboat crews were scrambled to waters off Torbay, Devon, after a passer-by raised the alarm. When they reached the tiny boat, the rescuers realised nobody was in danger - but the man and woman on board were naked. A police spokesman said the couple put their clothes back on after returning to the shore and were given "words of advice".
