A VESSEL that ran aground at Ryde Sands today will be moved by the owner at high tide.

The stricken boat got stranded this afternoon (Saturday) and was visited by Bembridge Coastguard Rescue Team.

A spokesperson for the rescue team said: "All was found to be in order and the owner plans to refloat and head home to the mainland on the next high tide."

The next high tides are at midnight and then midday tomorrow.
