Saturday
We launched on patrol in the West, heavy sea conditions with a suspected force 7 on the BF scale resulted in an inability to anchor.
Therefore, the vessel stayed at sea all day, mooring up for respite occasionally.
Vessel was recovered with no incidents being reported.
Sunday
Much of the same, vessel went to Cowes to refuel, then went on patrol, we were raised by Cowes RNLI who were doing a training exercise on locating vessels, we provided them with our Lat and Long and proceeded on our course. They then aimed to locate us.... and did.
Patrol was completed and we returned to Lepe.
The shoreline was extremely busy with wind and kite surfers so crew launched the 5.4m avon sea rider to ensure they could cover this additional situation.
All vessels were recovered without incident and everyone was out of the water before we shut down.
