Location of CasualtyMeadfoot area.

ALB* was on exercise in the bay and received a call from Solent Coastguard on VHF directly.
It concerned an inflatable between Meadfoot beach and Thatcher Rock apparently struggling to paddle back to Meadfoot Beach.
On approach two men were paddling and making their way to Meadfoot beach and did not need assistance but the ALB chaperoned them back to Meadfoot.
NCI at Daddyhole Plain reported and directed the ALB to the inflatable.

*Our ALB is currently undergoing routine maintenance at Noss-on-Dart and this shout was covered by Severn Class 17-27 which is on temporary loan to us until our ALB returns on Friday 24th May.
