Sandown & Shanklin inshore lifeboat
Being an Island, the sea is a major part of our lives. We travel across it (it is the main way to get on and off the Isle of Wight) , we sit by it, we sail on it and even swim in it.
We enjoy our sea environment…. until something goes wrong.
And trouble can come quite unexpectedly. A dinghy can capsize; a swimmer can get caught in a current; there can be an injury aboard a large ocean racer; or an engine can quite simply fail. What was fun, now becomes a nightmare.
We assume outside help will be at hand and, fortunately, it is!
