Remembering the brave Penlee lifeboat volunteers who perished at sea 30 years ago while out in 60 foot breakers attempting to rescue the crew of the Union Star off the harsh Cornish coast. I’ll never forget that tragedy as my older brother was a deep sea trawlerman then, fishing off that coast and beyond. It could easily have been him. We should never forget the power of the merciless sea and the bravery of those who will try their utmost to save others.
Remember the RNLI this Christmas.
