999 call for possible swimmer in trouble

The team were tasked this afternoon when a sharp eyed member of the public spotted a male swimming after his Kayak which was being blown out to sea.

The team arrived to start searching near to the house boats at Shell Bay when they saw someone packing an inflatable kayak into their vehicle.

Very quickly it was established this was the person reported in trouble and all was well. The male confirmed he had been packing his equipment away when the strong wind blew the kayak out to sea.

The man was most grateful to the Coastguard and the member of public for reporting the incident.
