@_Orkney @jhmckenna47 @OrkneyDrugsDog Big thanks to Orkney reps from @SFRSHighlandCAT @Scotambservice @HMCGHighland @KirkwallRNLI not to mention local PSYV and the other volunteers who helped with baking, face painting, catering and stalls to make it a great day.

Who’s jealous of our lifeboat trainers and their dolphin friends out training this #FurnaceFriday in Poole Bay? I know we are 👩💻

@HMCGHighland Thanks for the little training exercise. We'll upload more pictures when we get back home. #CG951 #RESCUE951 #RNLI

Kirkwall lifeboat this morning alongside the old lifeboat slip in Stronsay, probably the first time in nearly 50 years there has been a lifeboat so close alongside after the Stronsay station was closed in the early seventies.

We rely on the love shown by our supporters to fund our lifesaving work. Thank you ❤️ #ValentinesDay

One of our crew who is in Aberdeen, popped by the station there and it was their exercise day, it never ceases to amaze me the RNLI family, Glynn hasn't met these guys before but straight away got an invite in to meet the crew. We're like one big crew. #RNLIFamily
