July 4th - July 5th 2009

With changeable weather forecast for the weekend Solent Rescue One completed a series of 7 active patrols.

Saturday passed with no incident, Sunday however resulted in a tasking from HMCG to a crew of a small racing dinghy becoming exhausted off East Lepe Buoy.

Upon arrival in the vicinity, a brief search resulted in no vessel found and upon further comms, it transpired that the vessel may have made it ashore.  SR1 continued to the recovery scene to ensure all persons were ok.  This done, the vessel returned to station.

Sunday provided by far the best test of the new vessel set up and she passed with flying colours.
