Selsey inshore lifeboat “Betty and Thomas Moore” launched at 1455 to investigate reports of three children in difficulties in an inflatable dinghy off of Park Copse.
The ILB was on scene approximately one mile northeast of the station at 1500 to find three 14-year-old boys happily enjoying themselves and not in any kind of trouble. The dangers of inflatables were explained to them before the lifeboat took them back to the beach to their waiting parents.
The ILB returned to station at 1505 arrived back 1511 recovered straight away and was ready for service once more at 1530.
