Hi Guys + Girls,

Anyone know what the fuss was about?

I'd finished up kiting once the wind swung even more offshore but when I left 2 cars, a boat + a helicopter had turned up.

Cheers. Rich

i saw them them too.

The Boat went right through us for no apparent reason and then stopped opposite the boat sheds. I was almost under the chopper at one stage. He was only 30M above my kite! They hovered around for about 30 mins. ! think they were just watching us as much we were watching them?

yep first a police boat came, then a plane flew over and dropped a blue ballon. then the helicopter came

someone told me a windsurfer thought he saw a human hand?
i actually did see two fins aswell swimming towards the brighton yacht club on a tack.
