A seasick boatman was rescued by the Littlehampton lifeboat crew.

The incident took place today at 5pm.

A Solent coastguard spokesman said: “One of the crew was seasick and the boat was out of fuel too.

“The boat was off the coast of Middleton (between Bognor and Worthing) and drifting towards Bognor so the Littlehampton lifeboat went and rescued them.”
