Season 2, Episode 1 - ’I’m going to drown’

We’re back with Season 2! While 2020 has been so uncertain, there’s still one thing that we’ve all been able to depend on in one form or another: family. And in these upcoming episodes, you’ll hear from volunteer crew members and lifeguards who have been on call throughout the pandemic to save a life at sea and bring a family back together again.

In our first episode, meet two different lifesavers: Elissa, a volunteer Lifeboat Crew Member from Abersoch RNLI and Andy, a Maritime Operations Officer from HM Coastguard. You’ll hear the real 999 call they received from a 17-year-old paddleboarder at the mercy of the waves – and the story of how Andy and Elissa came to his rescue, just in time.

The RNLI is completely reliant on the generosity of the public. If you're able to, it would mean so much to us if you could consider giving a kind donation – no matter how big or small – to make more rescues like this possible. Simply visit: RNLI.org/SavingFamilies.
