Activity Log

Saturday

 Crew signed on the look out and proceeded to keep observations in the Western Solent whilst Solent Rescue 2 was brought round for service.

The day passed almost without incident with one vessel brushing into Lepe Spit, SR2 checked to see if the crew were OK, but the vessel didn’t go hard aground and came off with no intervention required from any other party.

Sunday

Crew, much like Saturday, set up the look out and launched SR2 and then began to complete planned training.

During this time, a jet-ski broke down outside the lookout and SR2 proceeded to take it around to Calshot. Upon going past the spit, the SR2 coxswain discussed with the owner that it would be quicker to take the ski to our recovery location and then SR2 take the owner around to Calshot so he could bring his trailer round by road (also saving fuel on a costly tow job).

This was completed with thanks and the crew returned to station.
