Christmas is a time for keeping in touch with friends and family. Keeping in touch is essential if heading out to sea so always make sure you have a way of calling for help. Mobile phones are good but VHF marine radios are better #999Coastguard#KeepChristmasSafe
Today we remember the eight extremely brave, fearless & selfless @RNLI lifeboatmen, who made the ultimate sacrifice on 19th December 1981. Their courage, dedication, determination, valour & heroism serves as a beacon to us all. #ServiceNotSelf#GreaterLoveHathNoMan
Further details of the #AmberWarning from our colleagues at #IOMMetOffice.
We will have safety patrols checking the coastal areas affected. If they give you some #Safety advice please take heed. We don't want you having a bad day through misjudging the power of large waves.
Keep safe folks.
There's an Amber weather warning for Coastal Overstopping. Affected areas include Shore Road in Rushen, Castletown Prom, Douglas Prom, Laxey & Ramsey.
Keep back from the shore & keep safe.

Nobody gets left behind.
A huge proportion of people who drown whilst intoxicated die because they fall in the water when walking alone at night. Keep you friends safe, stay together and make sure you all get home. #beamate#dontdrinkanddrown.
