I'm saying farewell to fizzy pop, bye-bye to beer and laters to lattes and drinking nothing but water for 2 weeks to raise money for the RNLI and their lifesavers at sea who drop everything at a moment's notice to save lives on the water. Here is just one story. • In an unusual twist, the start and end of 2013 involved dog rescues; one on New Year’s Day and another just before Christmas 12 months later. Fortunately for Beau the dog, volunteers from Swanage lifeboat were at the ready to rescue her when she ran off cliffs chasing a seagull. Towards the end of the year, Quila the Labrador was rescued by the volunteer crew at Happisburgh. The pup had gone for a swim and been washed out by the tide.
