Coastguard and Lifeboat recover boat

 

The Bank Holiday Coastguard patrol were diverted to a boat that had come ashore near to the Stone quay. 

Arriving on scene the owners with some help had managed to get the boat and three people on to a mooring however with possible damage and an engine failure the Swanage RNLI inshore lifeboat was requested to take the boat and occupants to safety. 

The lifeboat arrived whilst the Coastguard provided safety cover ashore and safely got the occupants to the quay returning to the boat and towing it to the boat park. 

With the boat at the slipway , the owners were assisted recovering the boat onto a trailer and out of the sea.
