Saving Lives at Sea

A French yacht has made a mayday call after suffering mechanical failure near Jersey. The St Helier crew must rescue it before it drifts onto a notoriously treacherous reef. In Porthcawl, when multiple 999 calls come in about a man who has been swept into the sea, the crew launch into the most dangerous conditions they've ever faced. Just along the south Wales coast, the Barry Dock lifeboat is tasked to two casualties on a remote island who have ingested hemlock.
