Jet ski rider rescue kayakers in trouble off Solway Coast

Kirkcudbright RNLI was also sent to the scene and was able to bring both kayaks to shore before returning to base.

HM Coastguard said it had been a “great partnership working together”.

They were called out for a second time on the same day at 16:25 to the nearby Mossyard Caravan Park due to concerns about another two kayakers who appeared to be struggling.

Kirkcudbright RNLI and Fleet Bay Inshore Rescue were called out to the incident and the people were safely brought to shore.

Coastguards repeated their advice to kayakers or paddleboarders to make sure they prepared before heading out on the water.

They said people should make sure they had a personal flotation device, fully charged phone in a waterproof pouch and a personal locator beacon.

In addition, they advised labelling any kit so the coastguard could check on safety if it was found.
