TWO people were able to clamber onto the hull of their dinghy after it capsized and the mast got stuck in the mud.
The West Mersea RNLI lifeboat crew were called to Bradwell to rescue the stranded crew and boat at 1.55pm yesterday.
The crew helped turn the dinghy back over and monitored the crew as they returned to shore wet but safe.
