Selsey inshore lifeboat “Betty and Thomas Moore” launched at 10:42 at the request of Solent Coastguard to investigate a report of an unattended sailboard approximately 100 yards offshore from Pagham Yacht Club.
The lifeboat arrived on scene at 10:56 to find a sailboard tied to a breakwater that apparently had been used by local children swimming over the bank holiday weekend. The ILB crew untied the sailboard and took it ashore to be disposed of.
At 11:08 the lifeboat departed to return to station arriving back at 11:23 recovering immediately and was made ready for service once more at 11:45.
CREW: C.Pullenger (Helmsman), P.Delahunty, G.Pearce.
