Details

The lifeboat launched to assist a windsurfer reported in difficulties off Minster, Isle of Sheppey. He had been seen to be waving for help, and was being blown out to sea by the strong offshore wind.

The lifeboat arrived on scene and, after a brief search, the casualty was located a mile off Warden Point. He was brought aboard the lifeboat, along with his board and rig, and landed ashore at Minster Beach into the care of Sheppey Coastguard.

The lifeboat then returned the nine miles back to station.
