Selsey inshore lifeboat “Betty and Thomas Moore” launched at 1820 after Solent Coastguard had received a report from a member of the public that two young persons in a dinghy appeared to be in difficulties close to the Mulberry Harbour off of Pagham.
The lifeboat arrived on scene at 1828 to find two young lads happily fishing in a home made dinghy with only paddles as their form of propulsion. Accepting the advice of the lifeboat crew the two young lads agreed to be towed back to the safety of the beach at Pagham where they were advised of the strength and danger of the tides in our area.
The lifeboat was released to return to station at 1842 arriving back at 1852, recovering straight away and was made ready for service once more at 1905.
