Yacht ashore

Interesting sight this morning on the main beach, a yacht! It appears over night it came off its mooring and came up on the beach.

The team kept an eye on it during the day and heard that it was going to be pulled off around high water at 20.00.

As it was training night we moved to the patch of land where the weather station is (next to Sandpit field) not only could we use the slope to practise the rope work, but also monitor the attempt.

Swanage Diver and the crew of the yacht (plus a few members of the public) did a good job and managed to re float the yacht which was escorted around to Poole.

We hopefully will add a photo in a day or so.
