Whilst other members of the team will be designing the Community Lifesaving Plan, which is aimed at reducing fatalities and serious incidents, and targeting particular


Dittisham and Dartmouth.

We will be monitoring events taking place in Dartmouth to maximise opportunities to interact with the

JAMES HESTER- NETWORK YACHT BROKERS DARTMOUTH RIVER THAMES ODYSSEY FUNDRAISER FOR THE DART LIFEBOAT Having moved to Dartmouth last July James Hester has been busy getting involved in Dart life, especially life on the water. He has brought his boat round from the Yealm to the Dart and begun sea kayaking in and around the river. In October, James acquired the Noss-based business, Network Yacht Brokers.


James’s business works closely with seafarers and so it values the work of the RNLI and the Dart team in particular. To support them James has challenged himself to travel the entire 185-mile length of the Thames in July from its source in the Cotswolds all the way to central London – initially on foot, then onwards by kayak. It will involve negotiating about 45 locks and a lot of rough camping but James is hoping to have the backing of the local town and marine communities as he faces up to the challenge.
