5 January: Dunbar When ambulance crews couldn't reach a woman who had slipped on rocks and badly injured her ankle as she walked to the south of Pease Bay, the inshore lifeboat crew were her only hope. Reaching the scene, the Dunbar volunteers lifted the woman onto a stretcher and safely delivered her to shore where an ambulance was waiting. That same evening, people were spotted waving for help with mobile phones and torches after the high tide had cut them off on Sandy Hirst. Following the lights, Dunbar’s RNLI volunteers found a stranded family and ferried them back to shore.
