Beyond Service to the wind industry!!

on Friday 21st October Mabel Alice was surveying Between Newhaven and Brighton approximatly 6 miles off when a " PAN PAN" was called by Solent Coastguard, looking at the coordinates passed to us we were found to be just 2 miles from the casulaty vessel, as a result Solent CG requested we make our way to the casulty vessel,
We were advised by Solend CG that the dive vessel had broken down and that they had 4 divers on a wreck below, the broken down vessel had drifted more than half a mile from the divers and had no way off recovering them when they returned to the surface. Mabel ALice arrived on Scene with 10 minutes of the call ensured that the casulty vessel was safe and had deployed its anchor then made its way to the dive site to recover the divers. We quickly found the divers and confirmed that they were all safe and well, by this time Newhaven Lifeboat was well on its way, Mabel Alice and crew stood by without recovering the divers untill Newhaven Lifeboat arrived and handed the incident over.
We had spent a couple of hours with Newhaven Lifeboat on the previous evening off Brighton Training, carrying out a towing excercise and deploying a drogue.

Thanks to the Men and women of Newhaven Lifeboat!
