RNLI LifeboatsIn 2021 Poole Lifeboats launched to 133 callouts and once again the station was one ofthe busiest coastal volunteer lifeboat stationswithin the RNLI in the UK and Ireland. The callouts were as varied as ever, including overduekayakers, boats suffering engine failure,boats on fire, activated EPIRBs, yachts pinned tothe Chain Ferry, medical evacuations, fouledprops, children and families swept out to seaon inflatables, windsurfers and swimmers indifficulty. They were also called to help in thesearch for missing children on the beach,and missing persons where the outcome wastragically not what they wished for. They wereeven called out to a biplane with a wing walkerditching into the sea just outside the harbourentrance. We wished that the number of callouts was lower and we continue to work hardat passing on key safety messages and askingpeople to please take a moment and assessthe risks.When the pagers sound, the RNLI volunteersinitially don’t know what they are respondingto, but with ongoing training and the bestequipment and kit, it means that the crew canreach people when they are most in need, in allkinds of weather, situations and locations.The volunteers train hard and work hard atbeing prepared. We have volunteer lifeboatmedical advisors who put together reallife scenarios, which test the crew and givethem the opportunity to use and familiarisethemselves with equipment and work alongsideother crew members. The exercises areimportant to keep the knowledge fresh and toalso check the equipment on the boats, that mayhave not been used in earnest recently.With the different areas that the station coversand the amount of people using the harbour,beaches and Poole Bay, anything could and doeshappen. Training scenarios have included anexplosion at the oil well on Furzey Island,a fishing boat swamped by a ferry coming intoport and carbon monoxide poisoning on a yacht.Not so long ago the inshore lifeboat was out onexercise practicing manoeuvers off Old HarryRocks. They came across a swimmer in difficultyand saved his life. A few weeks later a group ofyoung men had got cut off by the tide and werebelow Old Harry Rocks, the water had risenperilously high and the lifeboat thankfully foundthem due to the light from their mobile phone.The lifeboat rescued them in the nick of time,they were extremely fortunate.At the lifeboat station we don’t shame andblame people who get into trouble as accidentscan happen, even to the most experienced.When people need us and we launch to help,they are usually frightened and distressed, theymay feel stupid at having got into trouble. Theyare often overwhelmed by the enormity of theirsituation and they may be in pain, vulnerable orextremely poorly. We launch to help, to care andto bring them home safely.It’s easier than you think to get into trouble inthe water, so we urge people to try to minimisethe risks. We want people to enjoy the coast,beaches, cliffs and rivers by being out andabout on the water but by also being aware ofthe dangers. Know your limits and be realisticabout what you can do, within the conditions.Try to go out alone so you can look out for eachother.78The Poole Harbour and Marina Guide 2022
Always take a means of calling for help, such asa VHF radio or a phone as you may need it.Always check the weather and the tides, tryto keep your vessel maintained and get yourlifjackets serviced at the start of each season.Float to liveIf you find yourself in the water unexpectedly,take a moment as the initial shock of being incold water can cause you to gasp and panic.Effects will pass in less than a minute so don’ttry to swim straight away. Relax and float: floaton your back while you catch your breath andtry to get hold of something that will help youfloat. Keep calm: once you’re calm, call for helpand swim for safety if you are able to.Other things that can help, such as markingequipment with your contact details, if you areout on a board or kayak and it gets separatedfrom you and washes ashore, the coastguardscan save precious time by checking the details.Always let someone know your plans and whattime you are expected back.Always swim on a lifeguarded beach andplease leave lilos and toy inflatables at home,they are designed to be used in a containedpool, offshore winds can take you and yourinflatable out to sea in seconds.If you see someone in trouble or if youneed help, call 999 or 112 and ask forthe coastguard.We have a dedicated team ofvolunteers, who don’t go outon the boat. The water safetyteam gets out and aboutsharing key safety messages, holding LifejacketClinics at local yacht and sailing clubs. We alsohave fundraisers who raise the funds to keepour charity afloat so we can be there to savelives at sea. Whilst they are out and about, theyinteract and talk to people about, share the‘starfish song with the youngsters’ and floatto live messages. We have speakers who canshare rescue stories and talk to various groups.Then through our social media channels wepass on safety messages.Stay safe on the water, but if you do find yourselfin trouble we will be there, 24/7Follow us on TwitterRNLI Poole Lifeboats @PooleLifeboatsFacebook @PooleRNLILifeboatInstagram Poole Lifeboats (@poolelifeboats)79
