A dingy, kayak , dog and a broken ankle

 The team were tasked along with St Albans Coastguard, Poole RNLI Lifeboat and Rescue 175 from Lee on Solent to a report of a capsized sail dinghy north of Knoll Beach Studland.  Numerous 999 calls from the public raised the alarm saying two persons were in the water.  The lifeboat arrived and brought one person ashore whilst the other managed to get ashore themselves.  

As the 1st incident was concluding a further incident of a kayaker at Old Harry was received. A paddle had been lost and the pair had made it ashore where they were reunited with their paddle and escorted back to shore by the lifeboat. 

It was then off to St Albans Heads and a report of Benjie the dog fallen from the cliff top onto a ledge below.  St Albans Coastguard and Swanage Coastguard attended and safely recovered the dog to the top and reunited with their owners.  The dog had been on a lead when somehow Benjie managed to slip the collar. 


One happy dog reunited with its owners. 

Finally around 6pm the team were tasked to near the pier after a female slipped on seaweed and possibly broke her  ankle.  The team provided first aid and safely moved the lady out of the way of the incoming tide.  Due to a delay for an ambulance the lady was stretchered to a private vehicle for the journey to hospital.
