Coastguard Search Launched After Boat Found Abandoned On East Cowes Shore

Cowes RNLI and the Ventnor Coastguard Rescue team have been involved in a search near East Cowes this morning (Saturday).

HM Coastguard received a report of an abandoned dinghy boat on the shore at East Cowes this morning and a search of the area was made in case there was somebody in the water.

The teams searched the River Medina and the harbour, with subsequent contact with the owners confirming that no one was at risk.

HM Coastguard told Isle of Wight Radio that crews were stood down shortly after 10.30am.
