A local boat owner approached the Station Officer who was out for a walk reporting a large motor cruiser drifting in the moorings. Having monitored it for a short time it appeared to be getting close to other boats so Portland Coastguard requested the launch of Swanage ILB. The crew soon arrived and found the boat empty but resolved the issue by putting more anchor chain out and then locating a mobile phone on board and contacted the owner. The owner soon arrived having been ashore at a local pub. |
