Congratulations to Gareth Kehoe on becoming the station's latest helm🥳
Yesterday on St David’s Day, Gareth successfully completed his assessment with RNLI Training Assessor Paul Taylor.
The assessment covered a range of critical skills, including anchor veering, navigation and a man overboard (MOB) drill. Throughout the process, Gareth was in command of the lifeboat demonstrating his competence and leadership during each exercise.
Gareth said:
‘I’ve proven to myself and others that with a lot of hard work and belief in yourself, anything is possible. I couldn’t have done this without the help from my fellow crew, the Lifeboat Training Co-ordinators, and those who have gone the extra mile to assist me.
‘I would like to thank my family, as they have stood by me throughout this journey. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve made it. Thank you all.’
Well done Gareth, a brilliant achievement and the start of an exciting journey 🙌
