    I am a fisherman out of Trefor. I have seen the lifeboats coming and going and would like to say that on behalf of the fishermen, we all wish them well, they risk their lives for us !! God bless them !!

    I have just found your site out of curiosity after listening to your recent shout on vhf.You do a fantastic job for sometimes irresponsible & thoughtless, ill-prepared people.I sincerely hope that i never have to call upon you but i am reassured that you and the coastguard are there for us if something does go wrong. Many thanks, diolch yn fawr.

    a good way to raise money for the porthdinllaen life boat, would be for the crew to make a cheeky calander. Barber posing with his big anchor, lewis bach with his helmet, hench with his tool box, gwyl bach in his life ring and the lovely Midwood clasping his frare!! I would gladly take the photos, and I am sure the ladies of Morfa Nefyn would all buy them!!!!

    In order for RNLI porthdinllaen to raise money, I think that they should do a calander. For eg Robert Barber should pose quite modestly with nothing but an anchor. Lewis Jones the same with a life ring, Hench nothing but his tool box, Midwood with his flairs, and the rest of the crew like wise. You only need 12 men for the months, and I am sure the ladies of Morfa Nefyn would all buy it.

    The Charles Henry Ashley was commissioned from Portsmouth and Frank Foale took his engineer and brought the new boat round the coast to Porthdinllean to begin her duty. Last I heard about her was when I heard she was the stand in boat at Penlee after their disaster. Frank Foale lost two of uncles and a great uncle in the Salcombe disaster of 1916 with the wreck of the Western Lass.I miss Frank Foale , he was my Dad.

    My Dad Frank Foale was Coxwain of the Charles Henry Ashley and on station from about 49to54 or thereabouts, and as a child I spent my earliest years in and around the boathouse as he was always on call. It moves me to see that the work that he held so dear is still in such safe hands. May your Gods Bless You All.

    is it about time we saw some more of the services done from py, as other stations are updated on a regular basis, it would be nice to read about what is going on and what has gone on thanks

    Unfortunately there is not the facility to send me service reports at the moment, hopefully this will change this year - Steve

    The Charles Henry Ashley lifeboat now resides in France and is berthed just outside Paris on the river Marne. Il just underwent a complete hall and superstructure paint job. Word has it the present owners are intending to sell the lifeboat, which has been internally converted into a pleasure craft and has received modern electronics.
