Having had a few quite days in August including the normally busy bank holiday it was back to business .....
Friday evening and Nick's birthday BBQ - Initial Response Team (IRT) tasked to check the welfare of a yacht somewhere between Peveril Point and Anvil Point. Despite a good search for the reported yacht nothing was sighted and with no further reports it was back to the BBQ.
Saturday morning and the IRT were tasked to the North end of the beach after a small motor boat with a young male on board declared a Mayday as he was having problems with his boat. Met by the team and confirmed safe a local boat owner offered to escort him back to Studland however halfway round it was considered unsafe so the IRT who were monitoring the progress of the trip met him again. This time the boat was put on a mooring and arrangements were made for it to be collected later.
Sunday morning just after midnight the IRT were tasked to the boat park after a small white dinghy was found adrift. Concerned someone had fallen overboard the small tender (sadly with no markings on it) was brought ashore and a shore line search was conducted. There were no oars or equipment in the dinghy so it was presumed it had come adrift but the checks were still made with nothing further found.
