Skegness RNLI crew on three day mission to collect relief lifeboat

Volunteer crew at Skegness RNLI travelled by road, river and sea in a three-day mission to secure continued lifesaving cover on the Lincolnshire coast. Three contingents of crew members travelled to Wisbech in Cambridgeshire to take control of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s relief Shannon Class all-weather lifeboat (ALB) 13-21. It temporarily replaces Skegness’ Shannon 13-03 Joel and April Grunnill which has gone to the All Weather Lifeboat Centre at Poole for maintenance.
