Nearly gone with the wind!

As in past years the SO and DSO camp down at their respective beach huts during carnival week to assist the smooth running of the beach and be ready to deal with anything quickly.

So yesterday there I was about to have a cup of tea when the phone rang...(Austen's hut is about 4 huts away)....."there is an inflatable being blown out to sea two persons on it"

Austen ran off to get the truck (which up to this year remained close to hand just in case) but theres another story involving a traffic warden!

Beach Wardens turned up and liaised with a local boat owner to come and check the pair in the inflatable who seemed to be going round in circles and getting caught in the off shore wind.
However the pair finally made it ashore to be greeted by us......and thanked us for being so sharp in spotting them, they were struggling.

Please if you have an inflatable, observe the wind direction and don't go out to far.
