Selsey inshore lifeboat “Betty and Thomas Moore” launched at 2024 to go to the assistance of the 19-foot angling boat “Bethany’s Joy” broken down with one male person on board in a position approximately 300 metres northeast of the Mixon Beacon.
The lifeboat arrived on scene at 2029 in a position approximately one mile south of the station. A towline was attached and the casualty was towed back to its own moorings at Selsey. “Bethany’s Joy” was safely moored up at 2050 at which time the ILB was released to return to station, arriving back at 2055, recovering straight away and was ready for service once more at 2115.
