Newhaven RNLI will feature in this week's episode of Saving Lives at Sea on BBC 2 this Thursday the 5th of October at 8.00pm with the story of a kayaker’s fishing expedition that takes a turn for the worse. The modern afloat lifeboat station of Newhaven RNLI receives call outs to a great variety of distress calls. Last month alone, Newhaven’s Severn class All-weather Lifeboat was tasked on service ten times. September took the Newhaven Lifeboat to shouts including a fire with four people and one dog on board, a 25-metre fishing trawler broken down in the Channel shipping lanes, a yacht taking on water with storm damage in the Cuckmere, walkers cut off by the rising tide and a search for a missing swimmer.
