This morning I watched a pair of paddlers leave Swanage and head out through the tide race at Peveril Point. With half an hour spare, I headed up to the castle at Durlston Head and watched them paddle through the bigger tide race at Durlston Head, out onto the exposed section of coast. About a mile offshore, the coastguard helicopter was in action, going to the aid of what looked like a dive RIB. Hope all involved are safe and well.
