For every RNLI crew member, the first shout is just the beginning of many firsts. On the south western tip of Ireland, Castletownbere crew member Donagh faces a baptism of fire on his first shout as the crew carry out a dramatic rescue of a fisherman who's suffered a suspected stroke. In Burnham-on-Sea, on the Somerset coast, the crew are called out to a mayday from a houseboat that is sinking fast. In Newquay, a surfer has been caught out by the stormy seas and is struggling to back it back to shore. And in Northern Ireland, the Carrybridge crew face an unusual challenge: a cross-country trek to rescue three French fishermen whose boat has broken down on a small island.
