In 2015 RNLI volunteer crew members missed nearly 7,000 meals in order to rescue people in need of assistance, so the RNLI are asking people to hold a special fish supper to raise funds for its work.
A couple, trapped by an incoming tide and a treacherous cliff, as well as the police officer who went to their aid, were rescued by Cowes RNLI lifeboat on Sunday afternoon.
This September, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is challenging people on the Isle of Wight to give up all drinks except water for ten days to raise vital funds for the lifesaving charity.
A 44ft yacht with engine failure and a very fatigued crew, as well as a sinking powerboat benefited from the great service of the Yarmouth RNLI at the weekend.
The initiative of two young Island girls - who raised money for the RNLI by selling glasses of lemonade - was recognised by RNLI volunteers at the weekend.
The Yarmouth RNLI crew were unable to save a sinking fishging ship that is alleged to have been condemned by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) two years ago.
