Bridlington RNLI’s fond farewell for Kristina
The volunteers at Bridlington Lifeboat Station have said a fond farewell to crew member Kristina, who is moving to pastures new in Nottinghamshire after completing her last exercise.
Kristina has been part of the crew at Bridlington RNLI since arriving at the station in late summer 2022.
Without any experience at all, she threw herself into her training and quickly became part of the inshore lifeboat crew.
Before too long she was also part of the all-weather lifeboat crew, as well as passing out as a head launcher.
In her three and a half years, not only was she an integral part of the crew, but she also managed to go Sky Diving and indulged in a spot of bungee jumping in aid of the RNLI.
Kristina said: “My last exercise with you guys is a very emotional moment for me, as you have never been just a hobby, you always have been a big and important part of my life.
“With you I grew up and found myself, you will be always in my heart.”
A RNLI spokesperson added: “Everyone at Bridlington RNLI will be sad to see Kristina go and it’s not goodbye, it’s a case of until we meet again.”
