The Eastbourne RNLI Lifeboat’s volunteer crew had a busy Bank Holiday weekend, responding to four call outs between April 7th and April 9th. The team provided assistance in a variety of situations, including a search for a missing person, support for police and local coastguards in sensitive incidents, and towing an angling boat to safety.
