Yesterday day having spotted a canoeist capsize and become separated from his canoe I phoned the CG .......what a pantomime followed . Don't know where the station i was speaking to was located but it took about 10minutes to satisfy the operator of the casualty's location . Questions such as ...if I stand with my back to the land is the casualty to my right or left , where exactly am I stood etc . Obviously the poor operator didn't have any knowledge of the area . In the old days mod plod or inshore life boat would have been there in an instant .
As it happened a jet ski attended and canoe and casualty were brought ashore and no harm was done . I got the impression that the casualty was unperturbed by the whole incident .
