The #aurora over #southwold last night

As a mark of respect to our friends at RS, our station, along with stations across the country, will lower our flag to half mast to mark the day of Adrian’s funeral.
Our thoughts are with Adrian’s wife, his young daughter, his family, friends, colleagues, and all those affected by this tragedy.

His loss is felt deeply by the global search & rescue community, and we stand united with our colleagues at RS in mourning him. Adrian’s death is a sobering reminder of the inherent risks faced by those who dedicate their lives to saving others.

As a mark of respect #Southwold #Lifeboat station flag will be at half mast today.
On Friday 26 September, Adrian Willyson Brask, a much-valued member of the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue (RS), made the ultimate sacrifice during a rescue operation.

We started singing “You’re getting sacked in the morning”, and your travelling fans joined in, they weren’t happy!

Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon imaged from #Southwold early this morning. It’s travelling at almost 60 Km a second and will be closest to earth in late October when it might be visible to the naked eye.

After a successful man overboard exercise with Danny Church & team at #Southwold ferry last night, our davit decided to haemorrhage its hydraulic fluid while we recovered the boat. Leak was safely contained and we remain on service using alternative digs.

Morning from Southwold.

Photos from the lab iPad of today’s River #Deben #Suffolk E. coli isolation experiment with @countrylogs.bsky.social Samples from all the way along the river between #Debenham and #Woodbridge collected by Deben Climate Centre. Spot the ones downstream of a WWTP outflow.

Very rough at Southwold atm. Fortunately high tide not until lunch time!

Orwell Bridge closed from midnight. East Suffolk is battening down the hatches for storm Ciaran, due to hit us 2am-11am. Going to be a rough one.

Atmospheric morning in #Southwold #Suffolk

Great fun catching up with our elite citizen scientist collaborators at the University of Suffolk yesterday. They’ve been monitoring coliforms in Suffolk’s River Deben & we’ve been sequencing the genomes looking for AMR genes & toxins etc. Special thanks to @countrylogs.bsky.social 😀🧬🔬🧫
