I photographed these on 3-3-22 at 13-30 ish with an outgoing tide. The RNLI Shannon lifeboat is 13-03 RNLB R & J Welburn. Normally housed in the lifeboat station but nice to capture on the lifeboat mooring off Pirate Cove, Exmouth. 🌊⚓️🛟💙
If walking along the cliffs, fast flowing water or anywhere that you don’t know and are visiting for the first time. Please think about your walk and how to keep you and your loved ones and pets safe.

Do you know which five-letter word could save your life? Float. #FloatToLive until we arrive, day or night.
When Fishermen Dave and Brian fell into the water that’s exactly what they did 👇

We wanted to share Rob Burrow's poignant final message with you, recorded before his death for a special BBC documentary 'There's only one Rob Burrow'.
The Rugby League legend will never, ever be forgotten ❤️

Check out for this bloomin' marvellous tribute to 200 years of saving lives at sea from Douglas' Noble Park.
@RNLIDouglas was home to one of the first lifeboats and our founder, Sir William Hillary. For #RNLI200 we've colourised an 1890s photo of their rowing lifeboat 🥰

The water is still dangerously cold. Cold water shock can make you gasp uncontrollably and breathe in water. Instead #FloatToLive.
In emergencies, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
Thank you @GMB for helping share such important safety information.
A warning over water safety and getting into trouble while swimming in open waters and coastal areas is being issued today, by the National Water Safety Forum.
@NickDixonITV explains what the National Water Safety Forum is asking people to be mindful of.

Here it is! 🚂 A new look for this @GWRHelp train, with a smart new livery commemorating 200 years of RNLI lifesavers. It also remains a moving tribute to the 8 brave men of @PenleeLifeboat's lost Solomon Browne #RNLI200
We’re thrilled to celebrate our new partnership with the @RNLI by unveiling a special commemorative 200 logo.
It features on the side of IET 802008, which was named after the lifeboat, Solomon Browne, sadly lost at sea in 1981.
The RNLI is celebrating 200 years of saving lives at sea, and we’re proud to partner with them as we transport thousands of people to our iconic coastal destinations.

#FloatToLive:
- Tilt your head back with ears submerged
- Relax - try to control your breathing
- Move your hands to help stay afloat
- Once over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety
- Call 999 or 112 & ask for the coastguard.

One of my all time favourite parts of our local coastline. Budleigh Salterton’s River Otter meets the Sea, photographed yesterday. The tide was coming in and it was great catching such lovely scenery and chatting to folks enjoying their day. Have a lovely day all.😊

I have clearly angered the Twitter gods. An algorithm seems to be kicking out my followers without them knowing. If you can help me reach them again by RTing that would be wonderful.

Busy afternoon in parliament as @ProfMikeTipton speaks to a room full of researchers, MPs and peers about the vital role physiology plays in tackling global challenges. It’s followed a day of hearing from young researchers about their exciting science.
