Watch the moment @howthrnli lifeboat crew rescue a yacht being blown offshore.
When the crew of the yacht realised they were unable to make their way back, they did the right thing and called for help. Our crew was able to take the yacht under tow to the harbour.
⚠️ Don’t get stranded from shore. ⚠️
Before walking on an un-lifeguarded beach, ask a local how rising tides affect sandbars and currents. 🏊
Better safe than sorry.

As the days get longer, please ensure to report any stolen ring buoys.
Much time and effort goes into inspecting and replacing ring buoy housing, ropes and buoys.
Remember, a stolen ring buoy is a stolen life.
