Would like to take the opportunity to thank @MorecambeRNLI for allowing 1 search team to wash off at their station and the cold drink. And also thanks to Cheylette Fitness and cafe for the refreshments supplied while we packed down.

Togeather, we search of the coastline along Morecambe front at low tide. @NPASNorthWest helicopter searched the sands further out in the bay and @BaySARteam conducted searches of coastline further north. A true multi agency effort from all involved. #JESIP

Do you recognise this man? We have released this Forensic Artist's impression of his likeness in life in an attempt to identify a man whose body was recovered on Roa Island in April 2023. More: https://t.co/Q34wOtb8K1

Last weekend, one of our rescue technicians travelled to Anglesea to take part in a boat operators course run by @surflifesaving along with @yorkrescueboat. As always, a pleasure to work with other professional volunteers. Well done to all on the course in tricky conditions.
Over the weekend five of our volunteers completed their Flood Rescue Boat Operators refresher course at Anglesea. The water conditions at Cymyran Straight and Stanley Embankment are a real test of our team members skills and the capabilities of our boats.
