A collection of eight lifeboats, both RNLI and independent, gathered in Cowes from all parts of the Solent area on Saturday for an annual get together.
A whopping 50 inshore lifeboats are built at the Inshore Lifeboat Centre in East Cowes every year by the team of 70 highly skilled people. Make a trip to the new Visitor and Heritage Centre to find out more.
It's the unusually low tides in August that enables people to 'do the fort walk'. This year tides are not that low. RNLI say safety first - You could be up to your chest in the water.
The next episode in the second series of BBC2’s documentary on the RNLI, which airs at 8pm on Tuesday 26th September, will include footage of the Yarmouth lifeboat in action and interviews with the Coxswain and members of the volunteer crew.
