Activity Log

Saturday 22^nd May

With the fine weather and calm sea state, crew set about keeping observations in the west as a large number of mariners were afloat.

Solent Rescue base were made aware of a vessel that had run aground on Gurnard Ledge and was being left high and dry by the receding tide.

The coxswain of the day informed Solent Coastguard that we had a vessel afloat and were happy to go and assist in the setting of a ketch anchor.  We were thanked by SCG and informed that Hamble Lifeboat was already en-route.

We kept them under observation for the day, nothing untoward occurred regarding this incident.

Land based crew were kept extremely busy with the weight of people visiting the park with multiple incidents requiring varying levels of support.  Our first aid teams were pretty much flat out but did an outstanding job directing further medical resources to a more serious incident that occurred.  WELL DONE ALL.

Crew completed training on equipment operation and spent the day honing skills (some of which is the team building art form that is taking the biscuit out of one an other).

Sunday 23^rd May

Crew opened the lookout and proceeded to provide the same level of service as per Saturday, there were still a number of medical incidents but fortunately none of these were serious.
