First shout for newly qualified Coxswain at Peel RNLI

Jon and his volunteer crew launched the Ruby Clery on Monday night (25 July) to assist a rib with engine failure.

The rib was in the end towed into Peel by a passing yacht and then berthed by the Peel lifeboat, before the crew returned to station to ready the boat for its next shout.
