RNLI Emergency - Salcombe

[@rogerprice7704]

Why is it that lifeboats are surrounded by other boats I appreciate marine space is premium but surely it’s common sense to provide a quick passage for these volunteers. Every second counts on a rescue

Coxswain is priceless in the hat

Pretty OP fleet! Atlantic 85 and a Tamar Class!

[@lewisnorth1188]

Pretty rare to see an Atlantic and an ALB at one station

@@lewisnorth1188 there is a Severn Class and B class Atlantic 85 at Penlee lifeboat in Newlyn, Cornwall

Hate to be 'that guy', but that's a 75. They do look very similar though

[@jonlewistenby5631]

What’s the alarm going off for when the boats heading out?

[@AndyCutright]

It's the "Get the hell out of our way" alarm.

[@wardygrub]

It's the boat alarm. These were pirates nicking the boat!!!

[@cjatruckphotos]

@@wardygrub no it wasnt

[@cjatruckphotos]

That was the station alarm which alerts the rnli volunteers with their pagers (beepers) turned off if they are near the lifeboat station. It was actually set off way too late.

[@charlieforbes3938]

@@cjatruckphotos Not it not, the desighned to notify boats that the lifeboat is launching.

Station alarm was a bit late wasn't it.

[@rcblitzfpv8346]

BigPinkJohn no it's saying to all the other boats get the fuck out of the way

The RNLI is the UKs #1 facilitator of illegal immigration.

[@stevekiberd3474]

How wrong you are. The RNLI is there to save lives no matter where their from!!!!

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

No, no it isn't.

[@budmo5590]

you do realise BY MARATIME LAW they have to save ANYONE who may be in danger at sea.

[@cabbagedavidge]

The most ignorant comment I have ever heard. They don't go out to people in distress in the sea and who are about to drown and say "No can't take you, you are an illegal immigrant". "If you are lucky someone else might come along shortly (if they are not too late".) And NO I am not a leftie or whatever, I think our borders are a mess, and I know some immigrants are wanting to come here purely because of the handouts, housing etc. But I would never leave anyone to die when I had the means to save them and it was my job to do so as well.

[@bobdoom3423]

Too slow the start

[@eoghanbreathnach4921]

They have to wait for other crew information travel to station so all things considered this was fast response
