The RNLI Inshore Lifeboat launched at 1.10 p.m. on Sunday 20th July 2014. Solent Coastguard had received reports of two women clinging to the end of a breakwater near the Selsey coastguard tower. Selsey Coastguard team were also requested to attend.
The reserve 'D' class Lifeboat 'D675 arrived on scene at 1.13 p.m. to find that two members of the public had helped the two women ashore. The inshore Lifeboat landed a crewman on the beach to check if the women needed any first aid treatment. The Selsey Coastguards were with the women so they treated some wounds she had from the barnacles.
The Inshore Lifeboat was released by Solent Coastguard to return to station and was rehoused at 1.24 p.m. Weather on scene was wind force 2 with a smooth sea and bright sunshine.
