In the February blizzards when East Anglia roads were blocked by huge snowdrifts, Great Yarmouth and Gorleston's 44ft Waveney lifeboat Khami launched to take three patients, one a girl of 14, up the River Yare to Norwich for urgent medical treatment. It was the same day, February 15, that Bridlington lifeboat launched to go to the help of Sunnanhav and Wells and Humber lifeboats to the help of Savinesti.
