At the request of the Coast Guard Selsey Inshore Lifeboat ‘Betty and Thomas Moore’ launched at 21:42 to assist a small dinghy suffering engine failure with four people on board in a position approximately one mile South of Aldwick.
Arriving on scene at 21:48 and in fading light, the Lifeboat crew established that the occupants of the dinghy were well. A tow was then rigged and a course set for Pagham beach. Once the dinghy and its crew were safely ashore the Lifeboat was released by the Coast Guard and returned to the station and the Lifeboat was made ready for service once again by 22:20.
Note: This is the same 12’ dinghy the Lifeboat has been called to twice before this year.
CREW: R. Archibald, P. Delahunty, Craig Sergeant.
WEATHER: Calm
