Boat Launched : Atlantic 85
Date : Saturday 20 July
Launched at : 09:55
Returned at : 10:15
Weather : Fine but with a choppy sea and a F4 NE wind.
Two kayakers, a lady and her child, were fishing off Beachlands and were seen to capsize and struggle to right the boat. Responding to a call from the Solent Coastguard we reached the area quickly but found that both had reached the shore and that a third person who swam out to help had also returned exhausted but safe. A crew member was landed to ensure that they did not need medical assistance and the lifeboat then returned to the station.
