#OnThisDay in 1833 our founder, Sir William Hillary, conducted his final rescue. The man who saw his vision for a service dedicated to saving lives at sea become a reality, saved more than 300 people during his service. "With courage, nothing is impossible".

@RNLIDouglas 22 years ago tonight I know what I had for tea and the conversation at the table as if it was last week. 20 hours later I was home from a shout that will stay with me for ever.

This morning, Peter Washington on his 65th birthday stepped down after almost 20 years as boat crew/emergency mechanic to take up a position onshore as Lifeboat Operations Manager for Douglas. With Peter are daughter, Lavinia, and son, Tom, who also volunteer as boat crew.

"The RNLI lifeboats from Douglas, @PortErinRNLI and Peel were called out yesterday (11 November) to two separate incidents, one either side of the Island..."

Found a great app for editing video on my phone @RNLI #12-12marineengineer being put back on the slip a few weeks ago @RNLIDouglas

[Peter D Cowin @CowinPeter]

As coxswain I felt for the owner of the boat, it broke my heart watching it burn. We are not a fire fighting unit, our role is to save lives at sea. The heat was incredible, there was fuel, flares and possibly gas onboard which could put the crew in unnecessary danger.

On behalf of RNLI IOM, Douglas volunteer crew member, Robert Radcliffe, accepts a cheque for £1600 from his employer, Maitland, to be used for the benefit of all the Island’s lifeboat stations in maintaining the @RNLI ’s life saving operations.
