Afishionado Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Sea rescues after boat accidents Three people have been rescued from the sea off the coast of Dorset. The two separate incidents happened within minutes of each other on Saturday afternoon. The Portland coastguard helicopter spotted two sailors in the water in Studland Bay. They were rescued by Poole RNLI Inshore Lifeboat. A few minutes later the same helicopter airlifted a person from the sea off Old Harry Rocks when they were thrown into the water when their Rib flipped over.

Maverick Martin Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 The weather this week end certaily wasn't favourable for small boats. We took "Awol" for a spin through the harbour and down the swash on sunday and it was still very gusty, that was pleasant enough but further out it most certainly was not nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Did you wet a line , Martin??........no catch report! It was a bit bumpy in the Solent and we saw the RNLI rib go rushing out about 4.30. Plenty of yachts out for a sail ......but all reefed in! I just love the way those boats come straight at you....when there's loads of room all about! Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
