Yesterday the team took part in a joint operation with many partner agencies to help reduce the number of incidents involving anti social behaviour on the water.
During the afternoon the patrol spotted three people on kayaks that seemed to be struggling about 400 metres offshore at Studland.
Having monitored the group for a while it was clear they were drifting out to sea and a lifeboat was requested. The group were monitored during this time until the lifeboat arrived and found them nearly 2 miles off shore.
The group were brought ashore and it was established that they had lost their mobile phone in the water so had no means to ask for help.
With everyone safely ashore and medically checked the lifeboat and Coastguard were released.
Please stay safe, ensure you have the right clothing on and that your mobile phone is in a waterproof case and attached somehow.
