Last year, RNLI鈥檚 lifeboats launched over 9,000 times. And whenever they hit the water, the crews all know that someone鈥檚 life can be dependent on their split-second decisions.

In Whitby, the crew race to the rescue of two fossil hunters who are cut off by the tide - and soon find that they too are in grave danger. On Dorset鈥檚 Jurassic Coast, in Swanage, a trainee yachtsman has suffered a mysterious head injury and is in need of urgent treatment.

Twenty miles along the coast, the Poole crew embark on a frantic search for a missing paddleboarder. And in Newhaven, East Sussex, a kayaker鈥檚 fishing expedition takes a turn for the worse.
