Gone with the wind (again)

This afternoons patrol have yet again been involved in an incident where two young children were blown out to sea on an inflatable.

When on the beach ensure you know which way the wind is blowing.

Be aware the wind is often stronger just off shore.

Children using inflatables should be monitored at all times.

Eric was telling me this afternoon that the incident earlier in the week had some rather angry parents after being advised by the IRT to keep an eye on their children. (they had already been rescued once !). - The role of the IRT is to give the best advice not to spoil someones day.
