Tell us, what do you see in this picture?

Beautiful views?

How about the tiny little inflatable about half a mile offshore with two people onboard? (Zoom in if you can’t see).

We haven’t posted this picture for the people in the inflatable to be criticised but just want to raise awareness of the dangers of inflatables and how quickly they drift out to sea.

We saved these two people as the light was fading a year or so ago and a number of others were brought ashore also.

Please don’t use inflatables in the sea and if you see someone in trouble or drifting out to sea please dial 999 and ask for the coastguard. ☎️
