This evening the Skerries Coast Guard team called over to their neighbours, Skerries RNLI, for a training brief on their new Atlantic 85 lifeboat which arrived on station earlier this year. Several members of the RNLI team detailed the equipment carried onboard, including radar, radio direction finding, AIS and GPS.

Many thanks to Skerries RNLI for this very informative and enjoyable visit.
