Bridlington RNLI member Mikey passes key navigator test
The Bridlington RNLI volunteer crew has congratulated one of its members after he passed a key assessment.
Mikey Ellison has passed his All-Weather Lifeboat Navigator assessment.
The navigator is a key crew member on every All-Weather Lifeboat launch and exercise, and gaining the qualification requires extensive training, study, and practical experience.
A Bridlington RNLI spokesperson said: “Congratulations to Bridlington RNLI volunteer Mikey on successfully passing his All-Weather Lifeboat Navigator assessment.
“Mikey demonstrated outstanding navigation skills, including chartwork, radar, AIS, GPS, passage planning, search patterns, buoyage, and local knowledge of our coastline.
“A brilliant achievement. Well done, Mikey!”
