During a recent training session at the station, it became apparent that these four gentlemen were only minutes away from being cut off by the rapidly rising tide.
Our crew made contact with HM Coastguard and self-tasked to assist the group, safely escorting them back to the beach before they became stranded.
The group were very grateful for the assistance, if a little embarrassed, and were pleased to be able to continue enjoying their dinner further up the beach!
The reefs at Sea Palling are fascinating features to explore and enjoy from a safe distance. However, for your safety, we remind everyone not to climb on the reefs and to always be aware of local tide times and conditions.
If you ever spot someone in difficulty at the coast, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

National Volunteers’ Week

As a charity organisation managed, crewed, and supported entirely by volunteers, we would like to take this opportunity to thank every one of them for their hard work, dedication, and commitment.

From our operational crews and launch teams to fundraisers, trustees, maintenance volunteers, and all those working behind the scenes, each person plays a vital role in keeping our service running.

Without our volunteers, there simply would be no Sea Palling Independent Lifeboat.

Thank you for everything you do to help keep our community and visitors safe.

Paged 14:20 – 2 Persons in Water

Our crew were paged at 14:20 whilst preparing for service to reports of two persons in the water.

Our ILB was immediately launched to assist RNLI Lifeguards already on scene. The casualties were safely returned to shore in good spirits.

Whilst on scene, the ILB was diverted to assist a young male in an inflatable ring who was being blown offshore. The casualty was safely returned to shore and reunited with his family.

A busy afternoon for the crew, with a positive outcome for all involved.

Paged 13:18 – 2 Persons in Water (Rip Current)

Our crew were paged at 13:18 to reports of two persons in the water caught in a rip current at the north end of Sea Palling.

Our ILB was launched and assisted alongside RNLI Lifeguards already on scene. The casualties were safely returned to shore by the lifeguards, at which point our ILB was stood down by Humber Coastguard.

A good multi-agency response resulting in a safe outcome for all involved.

Today the Crew received a full and detailed briefing on the beaching procedure for our Lifeboat, Canon Portal.

This procedure would only ever be used in an emergency situation, or when severe weather conditions make it impossible to safely recover the boat onto the trailer.

The training covered the safe approach, crew positioning, communication and recovery considerations required when carrying out a controlled beaching operation.

Ongoing training and preparation such as this ensures our volunteer crew remain ready to respond safely and effectively in challenging conditions.

Recently, the crew were briefed on the safe and correct use of emergency flares.
This forms part of the ongoing training and development of our volunteers. Due to the cost of flares, these practical exercises are typically carried out when they are approaching their expiry date, and with the permission of UK Coastguard
