About This Item

RNLI Helmsman Pete

There are 233 RNLI lifeboat stations in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The RNLI also operates seasonal beach lifeguards units throughout the south west of England.

Lifeboat crews are mostly volunteers, who come from all walks of life, and give up their time and comfort to carry out rescues and save lives at sea on the lifeboats.

With over 4,800 lifeboat crew members in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, of which over 340 are women, lifeboat crews are dedicated and make a major commitment – which could ultimately include risking their life. They respond at a moment's notice, no matter where they are or what they are doing when the pager goes off. Crews are regularly called away from their families, their beds and their work, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Often they’ll leave a place of comfort to brave the cold and wet in situations that test their skill, strength and courage. Their lifesaving work is essential, often difficult and sometimes dangerous.

Helmsman

The helmsman is a volunteer who is in charge of the inshore lifeboat during launching, at sea and when it is being recovered to make sure it is ready for the next rescue. The helmsman is responsible for the safety of the crew on board and for everything that happens during a rescue. At inshore lifeboat stations the engines and machinery are maintained by the volunteer crew members.

Dropped Pete off today, he's got a great view of the Solent and keep an eye on all the sailors out there, it's also fitting that the location he's at used to be a huge hospital.

We don't go to St. Lucia until April so we'll have to put him somewhere closer and so he can hitch a lift out of the UK with someone sooner.
