  1. Turning the lifeboat electric – Solar Power for down-river cruising

    The old boat and the new boat One of the big experiments with the new #BoatingEurope lifeboat is to see how far we can move towards electric cooking and propulsion using solar power. The aim isn't to build a high-speed electric boat, this is a slow, down-river cruising boat, where we can take advantage of the river current, travel at relatively low speeds and use solar energy for much of the everyday electrical demand. The basic idea is simple - lots of solar + a decent battery bank + […]

  5. Dit weekend houdt reddingsorganisatie KNRM in IJmuiden open huis rond de nieuwe reddingsboot Dora Heeres. Op de boot staan 5000 herdenkingsnamen vermeld. De 4000 donateurs die zich hebben zich aangemeld kunnen de boot bekijken en aan andere activieiten meedoen. Wij bezochten dit gastvrije en prima georgansieerde evenement gisteren. #KNRM #ijmuiden #lifeboat #reddingsboot

  6. “The RNLI [Royal National Lifeboat Institution]: people of courage and commitment to their neighbours, whoever they might be. This one’s personal”

    “I am now shocked, appalled, and upset that racist thugs in this country are targeting RNLI lifeboat stations, other installations, but most especially crew members and other volunteers because they put themselves at risk to save the lives of those refugees who are forced, as a result of hopelessly inappropriate UK government policy, to take to small boats to cross the English Channel to exercise their right, established in international law, with the support of this country, to claim asylum in their country of choice”

  10. Life on a Lifeboat: Where Next?

    We have already done a five-year voyage across 13 countries, travelling from the North Sea to the Black Sea, crossing the European continent through its extraordinary network of rivers, canals and inland waterways. It was a slow way of travelling, that was the point. Rather than flying over Europe or rushing from one destination to another, we travelled through it, along the waterways that have connected communities, cities and cultures for centuries. We lived on the boat, moving with the […]

  23. Today's Flickr photo with the most hits was taken in Sault Sainte Marie, aboard the Valley Camp (a Great Lakes freighter - now a museum ship). It shows a lifeboat retrieved from the lost Edmund Fitzgerald (1975).

  28. ‘It’s a project’ – Crazy Chris offers vintage lifeboat free to good home

    Well – courtesy of Skerries’ most famous resident, ‘Crazy Chris’ Harris – that unique opportunity has just presented itself.

    And the cost? Nothing at all.

    Crazy Chris, who took on the #lifeboat in the hope of turning her into a truly one-of-a-kind #B&B on one of #Shetland’s most remote #islands, hopes to pass her on to the right person as a personal project.

  34. Close by the statue in Port William is an excellent community run cafe called The View which was set up to help fund a life boat service that the RLNI were not willing to fund because they thought that there was insufficient need on this stretch of coast, but the local community did think was necessary.
