Lucky it happened close inshore.Half way across the Channel could have been a different story.

The poor guy broadcast a mayday only to give his position 10 deg too far North. I tried to plot where he was but ended up somewhere near Winchester.
I was quite close but didn't see him so couldn't help. It must be scary to have water flooding in and only 2 lifejackets for 4 people!

Glad he was OK
