Do you recognise this Kayak found in Swansea Bay?
An
empty kayak sparks a large rescue operation in Swansea Bay, Wales.
The
alarm was raised with the UK Coastguard just after 8pm today (12th
August) after another vessel discovered the empty two person Osprey kayak
drifting in Swansea Bay. The kayak contained several pieces of clothing and
appears to be in good condition.
RNLI
lifeboats from Mumbles and Port Talbot, the RAF rescue helicopter based at
Chivenor, the South Wales Police helicopter and Coastguard rescue teams from
Mumbles and Port Talbot have spent the evening searching the area.
The
search has been suspended for the night, if you have any information regarding
the owner please contact Milford Haven Coastguard Operations Centre on 01646
690909.
