St Helier, on the Channel Island of Jersey, is the RNLI's most southerly lifeboat station. A Tyne lies afloat alongside a pontoon just outside the 'cill', which keeps enough water in the marina basin for local and visiting yachts to stay afloat.

Jersey's tidal range is one of the largest in the world with a rise and fall of up to 35ft, creating very strong steams and rough water around the rocky islands. The rocks exposed at low water can be seen in the background of the main photo.
