Report 07/06/19: This afternoon we have heard the tragic news that three of our lifeboat colleagues; members of the French RNLI equivalent - the Société Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer (SNSM) have died when their lifeboat capsized as they went to assist a fishing boat in strong winds and rough seas off the beach of Tanchet aux Sables-d'Olonne. Our thoughts and prayers are with the crews families at this time, and to the crews who are searching for a fourth person still missing. Today's loss is a reminder of the dangers of putting to sea.
