A member of the public confirmed to Coastguard Officers that the individuals made it ashore.
Adults behaving like children, they need constant supervision, some people never grow up.
It has been non stop stories like this, this summer. What is wrong with some people,they don’t know what they are doing, no respect for the sea and yet they still do idiotic things on and in the water!
