Today proved to be busier on the rescue front, the first incident of the day came when VR3 came across a small day boat with a fuel problem, VR3 towed the vessel clear of the channel and onto a courtesy mooring where a VR3 crewman was able to rectify the problem and the vessel continued on its way.

Weekend Updates - Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th July
SATURDAY: Today proved the start of what was to become a long weekend for the Venturers SAR lifeboat crews. We were tasked by the coastguard along with Solent Rescue to the assistance of a vessel aground on the Brambles bank after they had suffered a collision with another Vessel. On arrival we placed a crewman aboard the casualty vessel (a charter yacht) to assess for possible water ingress below decks, fortunately none was found and the damage proved only to be cosmetic.
