Enjoy your swims, and if you hear of a dolphin being washed ashore in North Devon - that'll be me!

DAVID WALLIAMS

I am away for two weeks now, so I do hope David makes it to Westminster tonight.  I won't say 'congratulations', I don't want to jink it; but I am pretty sure David is going to complete this challenging swim.

The sea temperature is still 17oC, but keep an eye on the wind speed and direction this week if you are open water swimming.  Although the wind speed is set to drop to 4 by Thursday, it will be coming from the North East - an off-shore wind, so do take care.

PRESS RELEASE

Below is a copy of the press release from the RNLI detailing the success of this years' fundraising during Lifeboat Week. Fantastic!  Well done everyone who worked so hard to make this a record breaking year.


6 September                                                                                       Selsey 43 2011


Selsey lifeboat week delivers record results

In its 150th anniversary year Selsey RNLIs lifeboat week has broken all previous records with the various fundraising events delivering a whopping £18,272.44 after expenses. On behalf of the Selsey RNLI Branch, Chairman John Light commented: “That such a fantastic response by the public makes all the hard work planning, organising and delivering the events by everyone involved so worthwhile.”

Although this year’s lifeboat week events followed a similar pattern to previous years as it was the 150th anniversary it was very gratifying that the ‘best laid plans’ did actually bear fruit and that the weather was kind for all the outdoor activities.

There were a few particular highlights worthy of mention including: soldier Anthony Reed’s marriage proposal to Fran McGill via a banner on Selsey’s all weather lifeboat Voluntary Worker during the sail past prior to his deployment in Afghanistan; a balloon (from the balloon race) reaching Trier in Germany (!) and the attendance of the RNLIs latest slipway launched Tamar class all weather lifeboat Alfred Albert Williams from Bembridge, Isle of Wight. 

Once again a very big thank you to everyone for coming along and taking part and for the very generous donations received on behalf of the RNLI.
