ATTENTION CRUISERS - Potential Vessel Interference 3rd Sept 2024 - by: Alistair Glen

Yesterday eveing , at about dusk (2015hrs) I saw a small RIB amongst the moorings closest to the Club shore. It appeared to contain three persons and they, from what I could see from the shore, were attempting to look in the open cockpits of the day-sailors. I heard one voice saying 'try this one' as though they were looking for something specific. I shone my phone torch at them from the shore and they realised they had been spotted and made off. I managed to get a still of them amongst the moorings and then a brief video of them making off at speed. Hopefully, as they were still looking for something when I spotted them, nothing has been taken but it may be worth coming down to check the smaller, open cockpit craft as soon as you can.
As you can imagine, phone footage in dusk light levels isn't particulalry revealing. Is there a River Watch on the Exe?
