The Shoreham National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) was involved in a series of incidents on Sunday, showcasing the critical role of vigilant watchkeepers and local maritime assistance in ensuring safety along the coast.
Early in the day, a capsized kayak was spotted outside the harbour. The kayaker, who had been fishing, was quickly reported to HM Coastguard. Fortunately, Shoreham Sailing Club was racing nearby, and one of their safety boats promptly assisted the kayaker. Continuous updates were provided to the Coastguard until the kayaker safely made it ashore.
