A new helm for RNLI Rye Harbour When Luke Bishop came to visit RNLI Rye Harbour on 4 March 2018 little did he know that by 2022 he would have become a helm at that station. On Friday June 8 he passed out as helm and joins the team of five helms at the Harbour. Congratulations.

LOST CHILD AT CAMBER The pagers went off at 3.39pm on Saturday 16 July for the crew at RNLI Rye Harbour. A young girl aged 9 had gone missing on a packed Camber Beach. Fortunately the child was found safe and well and our boat was recalled and returned to the station.

At 2.30 on 15b July RNLI Rye Harbour was tasked by HM Coastguard to search for a 27 year old male reported missing after swimming for over an hour. The Coastguard helicopter joined the search and just after 3 pm he was spotted walking on the beach so all units were stood down.

On Saturday 8 October at 5.04 pm HM Coastguard requested a Rye Harbour launch. A dog was lost at sea by Jury’s Gap. The owners had wisely rung 999 to request help. It is with sadness that we report that the dog had not been located by 6.50 pm when the search was called off.

Congratulations to Jack Illife, Dave Rees, Lucy Hill, Emma Stonham, Neil Davy, Charlie Stout and Mick Cocker for completing their shorecrew plans. All that hard work and dedication paid off.

It is 4 degrees outside but the wind chill is savage. Our dedicated volunteers at RNLI Rye Harbour are out on the river and sea training. Two trips are planned back to back: the second will be much colder. Keeping people safe on the water and Saving Lives at Sea
