A long time ago, in a harbour not so far far away, the force was strong at Poole Lifeboat Station.

Both boats carried out a joint training session with the Millennium Falcon before all 3 crafts were tasked to deal with the incoming Death Star.

They do extraordinary things and without them we couldn’t do what we do best, which is #SavingLivesAtSea 💛

When Dixie fell into an area of the sea which is inaccessible from the shore, her owner did the right thing and called 999, asking for the Coast Guard. The crew were happy to help Dixie and her relieved owner.
