The man at the helm of the RNLI lifeboat station in Lyme Regis has praised his volunteer crew after a ‘challenging but successful year.’
In a review of 2020 Lifeboat Operations Manager Nick Marks said: “We managed to meet our aim of maintaining an effective life-saving service throughout year.
“No calls for help were missed through non-availability of our lifeboat or crew members in the most difficult of circumstances.”
Mr Marks said the year had started well but became increasingly challenging as COVID-19 established itself and threatened to interrupt the 24/7 lifeboat service proudly delivered by the RNLI since 1824.
