Solent Rescue - Independent Lifeboat Rescue Organisation
Written by Cameron Critchfield Tuesday, 14 April 2009 09:41
After all the hard graft and what seemed like an almost endless maintenance schedule that needed to be completed in the off season, Solent Rescue 1 returned to the waters of the Western Solent for the Easter holiday.
All involved deserve a pat on the back and a well deserved mug of tea (or beer, depending on their preference).
We also put to the water Solent Rescue 2 with a new engine upon her, thus greatly increases our effectiveness in responding as well as allowing us to anchor our main solent lifeboat out deeper. Deeper anchorage reduces the amount of anchor slippage that Solent Lifeboat SR1 can experience closer into shore as well as reduce the amount of maintenance required on the propulsion unit.
As chance would have it, on the very first day of being officially back under the command of HMCG BOTH vessels were called upon when a vessel grounded on the Beaulieu mud flats. Solent Lifeboat SR1 immediately put a line on-board the vessel, whilst SR2 ran instructions between the two as well as ferrying crew (full break down in the activities log).
Anyway, it's good to be back and we wish everyone a safe 2009 and hope we can help when needed!
