Austen and Nick have received thankyou letters from the family involved in the incident they attended last week. This a very nice touch and although nobody does it for the thanks or recognition, it's still nice to be appreciated. Our main concern as ever is that everyone ends up safe and well.
We never seek to judge the people we rescue nor pass comment although where appropriate we offer safety advice to try and prevent repeats, particularly with incidents at sea. Over the years we have operated regular Accident Prevention Patrols at weekends and we'd like to think this helps keep our casualty rates down. That said, with increased stay-at-home holidays last year our call out figures were higher than ever.
The way the Coastguard Service operates is currently under review; if you want to know what's planned or want to have your say please click the Consultation link on the right.
