Following a 999 call from a member of staff at Sparkes marina, concerned about two teenage youths in kayaks on a mud bank to the NW of the marina, the Solent Coastguard requested a launch to investigate.
The Harbour Patrol vessel and the lifeboat arrived at the scene to discover that the two boys had made it back to the marina, having come from Hayling Island Sailing Club. The Harbour Patrol boat took them both on-board and returned them to their parents at HISC.
The lifeboat returned to the station and was made ready for further service.
