Pride of Guernsey: 'Lifeboat crew are selfless'
SELFLESSNESS and being willing to put their lives on the line has led to the entire RNLI Lifeboat crew being nominated for the Emergency Hero of the Year Award, sponsored by Rossborough.
Nominated by the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club, it said the crew 'regularly put to sea in difficult and very challenging sea conditions to protect and save lives'.
'The members of the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club appreciate this voluntary service immensely and it gives us great comfort knowing that we have such an excellent crew in Guernsey available if things should go wrong.
'RNLI Guernsey also has a very proud record within the RNLI generally and has always protected these waters with distinction.
'Each and every member of the RNLI Guernsey crew is selfless, willing to put their life on the line and step forward if required to serve.
'The recent rescue of passengers from the Trident ferry in very foggy conditions is but one example of many.'
