Culver Sands exercise for Burnham-On-Sea RNLI crew

Burnham-On-Sea RNLI's Staines Whitfield lifeboat was launched at 09:20hrs on Sunday April 24 to take part in a joint exercise with Minehead and Weston-Super-Mare RNLI lifeboats at Culver Sands in the Bristol Channel.

The theme of the exercise was rough-water boathandling and involved four crew from Burnham.

The sea state was approximately 3 feet of swell, and winds North-Easterly, force 3-4 beaufort wind scale.

Helmsman Nick Prout said: "The exercise gave us useful experience in working together with other lifeboats."

The Staines Whitfield is shown leaving from Burnham-On-Sea beach.
