🚨🚨Operational Update🚨🚨 “Harry Child’s Re-Launch” We are pleased to announce that the “Harry Childs” #Lifeboat was successfully launched yesterday after a sustained period of maintenance and refitting of the starboard jet. #hamblelifeboat #independentlifeboat #lifeboatcrew

With the spring tides this week, it’s been an ideal opportunity for the crew to practice their skulling techniques on Hamble High Street. 😂😂 #hamble #independentlifeboat #lifeboatcrew #lifeboatcrewtraining

☀️Training in the sunshine.☀️ In 1983, Bristow established the UK’s first civilian SAR bases at Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, Sumburgh in Shetland, and at Lee-on-Solent and Portland on the #southcoast on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency #independentlifeboats #HambleLifeboat #lifeboats

The service Hamble Lifeboat offers is hugely important to many and of course dangerous at times. Yet, every now and then we capture special moments like this. 🌅 #lifeboat #independentlifeboat #lifeboatcrew #southampton #thesolent #savinglivesatsea

Teamwork and the ability to change your plan is a massive part of being Lifeboat Crew. This weeks training was the famous “Breeches Buoy” an old shipping maritime technique. #independentlifeboats #lifeboatstation #searchandrescue #shipping #lifeboatcrew #lifeboatcrewtraining

📟 1/6/23 Team tasked along with Hamble Lifeboat to a personal locator beacon activating in Hamble. Device located and no persons found to be in distress. False alarm.

Our winchman paramedic was placed on the vessel to provide care & working with Hamble Lifeboat the casualty was taken Hamble. Casualty passed into care of South Central Ambulance Service #teamwork

A few friendly Dolphins appeared over the weekend. Any guesses where they were? Thanks to Kevin Hallett for the footage. #dolphins #lifeboat #independentlifeboat

Thanks we thoroughly enjoyed it. 😁

We got caught…. and fortunately for us 😉 we ended up having a chat with Shaun Wallace - The Dark Destroyer - the Chase from The Chase, who was passing by under the supervision of Mike at Aboard Boat Coaching. #independentlifeboat #hamblelifeboat #thechase #shaunwallace #thedarkdestoyer

We had a special visitor today. Oliver Heer team has been waiting to start #TransatJacques . The weather has been so bad, they haven’t been able to leave Le Havre. Good luck to Ollie and his team. Thank you for supporting us #independentlifeboat #sailing #offshoreracing

Bruce Thomas captured a Pilot Boat as it waited for a Pilot transfer, just south of Nab Tower in the Solent. If you have any content to share with UKMPA, please send it to 07719 140371 #maritimeindustry #maritimepilots #shipping #shippingindustry

Training with HM Coastguard Rescue 175 is just one piece of a puzzle that our crew need to execute. The skill needed from the #pilot in placing their #Paramedic onto the #Lifeboat is always dangerous, with the #helicopter and Lifeboat formation our crew are prepared.
