The volunteer crew were paged at 1.28 p.m. on 25th June 2015. Solent Coastguard had received a report from a member of public stating that a person was cut off by the tide on Kirk Arrow shingle bank.
The inshore Lifeboat 'Betty and Thomas Moore' with its crew of three launched at 1.35 p.m. and proceeded to Kirk Arrow. At 1.38 p.m. when on scene it was soon apparent that there was no one on the bank and so the Lifeboat went to the shore where a group of young men were standing.
The men said that one of their group had been stranded on the bank but was recovered by his friends in their kayak. At 1.41 p.m. the inshore Lifeboat was released to return to station, arriving at 1.48 p.m. and rehousing straight away.
