We get to visit the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in their station at New Brighton. The RNLI have saved over 140,000 lives since they were set up and are funded by charitable contributions (they are not a government agency - that is the CoastGuard). Over 600 RNLI volunteers have lost their lives over the years whilst helping others.

Please consider supporting the RNLI. You can either donate at any of their shops, online or via Salty Lass's Just Giving page.

hi everybody just a little announcement

before we start today's video we are

beginning some major refit we're

consulting us and unfortunately the

video editing which takes huge amount of

time is going to eat into that so for

the next couple of weeks we're going to

be moving to a fortnightly schedule

that's every two weeks after this video

so um just to let you all know that next

week we will not be putting a video I it

will be the week after

oh no we will now move on to our feature

presentation today where Annie brightly

doing a tear of the lifeboat station

with the rnll a the Pregnant's is in her

element

zucchini where are we off to today New

Brighton and we can actually go to the

weapon station we walked along the New

Brighton Beach and Gaynor shield an

appalling lack of sense for a sailor nor

did things get much better but we have

the safety of the sea wall

we also got to see the Mersey doing its

thing pushing big ships around the Orang

allah is a charitable organisation which

assists Mariners when they get into

difficulty at sea it's completely

separate from the coastguard which is a

branch of government whereas the RNLI is

funded by charitable donation and every

crew member is a volunteer we were

visiting the New Brighton lifeboat which

does in-store rescues but the RNLI also

has all-weather boots and we saw several

of them as we sailed around through UK

and a couple of them haven't worked this

impersonal only unexpected never one to

miss an opportunity Gaynor decided to

volunteer to try on some of the kits you

know this means just to keep the stage

can't get it off plenty of encouragement

from the RNLI volunteers and the

onlookers had come to visit she only

took me and

[Laughter]

yeah it was clear that Gaynor needed to

master her technique for getting on to

the rib it just wasn't quite as slick as

it should've been we were given an

in-depth tour of the ribbon how it

worked I've shown all the safety

features that were embedded in it

being a volunteer organization people

aren't always on hand and the crews have

to turn up often at short notice

so the crew methods were excellent is in

detail launch procedures were explained

to us in detail the jug review Brighton

means they have a choice of lunch points

a short land journey can greatly reduce

the length of the sea journey which

means a faster response each crew member

has a definite set of responsibilities

and these are expenses more complicated

than what we're used to we just have the

mark one eyeball for our instrument I

see and that goes over and then your

tour line goes over that yeah yeah and

then it comes off this bar down here

yeah yep I say go off to the side first

we would interests and before we left

they made sure they got the dry suit

back off Gaynor and then she treated

reserve tutor of the tractor unit heard

that before

[Music]

yeah don't encourage her leave like you

find us
