The team held its annual review of the year last night, and like so many things these days, it was done over Zoom rather than over a supper along with families and partners.
An important part of that evening is the award of the Coastguard of the Year.
This is to the team member who has gone the extra mile throughout the year, the one who is an ever-present at training, who makes themselves available when we needed, who keeps working at their own skills behind the scenes to keep operationally ready, who contributes to team discussions and looks out for the welfare of others.
2020 was certainly a difficult year with Covid and all that that brought - home working for many, lockdowns, a period when we had very few callouts and no training followed by our busiest summer on record and an Autumn/Winter period with some intensive training requirements as we worked to catch up.
The ever present throughout that period, and the person who is our 2020 Coastguard of the Year is 'Swanage 07', better known as Duncan Hobbs. Well done Duncan!
