Fisherman rescued after Solent sinking
A HAMPSHIRE fisherman had to be rescued two miles off the Isle of Wight when his boat sank.
Adrian Dann, 49, of Lee-on-the-Solent, contacted coastguard officers and launched a life raft when water started gushing aboard his boat.
He was plucked from the sea by a craft from the patrol vessel Port of Spain at 2.40pm yesterday.
