THE volunteer crew of the RNLI lifeboat in Lyme Regis have welcomed the return to the town of their lifeboat after a four month major refit.
The Spirit of Loch Fyne arrived by road on a trailer yesterday after the RNLI carried out the refit at its workshops in Cowes on the Isle of Wight.
Since January the crew have operated a similar vessel named Dylan Rotchell.
Spirit of Loch Fyne has been on round the clock duty in Lyme Regis since 2012.
Nick Marks, volunteer lifeboat operations manager said: “We are delighted to see our boat back in Lyme Regis but the relief vessel served us well for four months.”
