I’m a member of Hayling Rescue
I thought HR was a one man outfit. So You’re Frank Dunster? Or you’re a member of the supporters FB page?
and the last murmur we heard about was a Dutch vessel without papers and broken prop.
I’m local too and I hear almost nothing of that kind. There was one trafficker arrested in Chi Marina with a dozen on board a few years back but that’s all I recall. I suspect almost nobody gets smuggled in by small boat in our stretch of coast. …and if you were a gang of blokes escaping from France in a single use small boat in water near Hayling Island I doubt you’d have any trouble at all dragging it near enough to the beach to get in. You certainly wouldn’t bother to go into Chi Harbour entrance and you certainly would worry about going on the putty.
