Well Done to Andy and Steve

Another big thank you to two brave.... or crazy young chaps who decided to swim across the Solent to help raise funds for the Solent Rescue replacement lifeboat project.

Andy Gibson and Steve Brackstone braved the perilous waters, swarming with deadly yachts and motor cruisers in order to bring us a substantial step closer to us reaching our target for a new vessel.

They did it in 1 hour and 20 minutes and didn't seem too tired by the end of it, perhaps we should have made them swim back also?

WELL DONE GENTS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Solent Rescue were established in 1971 initially as a beach rescue unit operated by auxiliary coastguards. Solent Rescue has since then developed into a fully operational independent lifeboat station, which operates under the direct control of HM Coastguard and is responsible for approximately 33 square miles of the central and western Solent.
