Seaside Rescue: About the RNLI
Hi
If you watched Seaside Rescue tonighton the BBC you would have seen the two head injuries being winched too the helicopter during Cowes Week.
The "loacl Rescue boat was actually Gosport Rescue One an Independant Inshore Lifeboat.
Last year it the stationwas one of the busiest in the country and from Coastguard figures released in September 2006 the busiest in the Solent Coastguard area
There are over 50 Independant, Non RNLI, voluntary lilfeboats around the UK
Please feel free to look at www.gafirs.org.uk
