My Personal Message New Year resolutions have faded into the background…Spring has come and Summer is just around the corner…the annual prepping and launching of the RIB is fast approaching… but more importantly the fitness of divers is in each club Dive Officers mind!So what better way to get water fit in time for the dive season than by competing in the annual St Patrick’s Day Swim off Dalkey Island? On the 17th of March, Marlin Sub Aqua in conjunction with CFT will be hosting this year’s event from Coliemore Harbour, Dalkey, Co. Dublin. We all rely on the RNLI as lifesavers and the Paddy’s Day snorkel is our way of supporting this very worthy cause. So there will be sponsor cards and a link to a charity donation site from the CFT and Marlin website, for those that don't have time to seek sponsorship you will be able to sign up on the day at a cost of €10 or for those that are flush €15! All money will be donated to the RNLI. There is something to keep everyone interested whether you be a land lubber or wanna-be seal!!! From the telescope above the harbour you’ll see neoprene clad swimmers make their way around the island but while the swimmers are busy you can keep an eye out for our new resident Dublin Bay dolphins! There will be a number of RIBs providing cover, so if the new years fitness regime hasn’t kicked in, help won’t be far away. Once the swimmers have passed the last corner I’m sure the land lubbers cheers will be loud and clear spurring each swimmer on. A prize will be available for the best dressed swimmer, showing their Irish Pride…. so dust of the Leprechaun outfit and stretch your green Speedos a little... Once finished why don’t you come back to the Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club, for some warm refreshments and the award ceremony for the Anne Burrows trophy. If the luck of the Irish is strong in you, then you might have some joy at one of the many raffle prizes that we have to give away. Anyone that would like to donate a spot prize for the raffle, please feel free to email info@marlinsubaqua.ie So come one and all to participate or cheer on the St Patricks Day Swim. More details to follow on www.cft.ie |

About my charity The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is a registered charity that saves lives at sea. It provides a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service to 100 nautical miles out from the coast of the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. The RNLI, which provides nine out of ten sea rescue launches, continues to rely on voluntary contributions and legacies for its income. The RNLI in Ireland has 43 lifeboat stations operating 55 lifeboats in order to provide a ring of safety around the Irish coastline. This fleet enables the lifeboat service to reach at least 90% of all casualties that are within 10 nautical miles of lifeboat stations within 30 minutes of launch, in all weathers. Last year Irish Lifeboats launched 976 times and rescued over 1,000 people. Click here for more information |
