St Helier RNLI has taken delivery of a temporary all weather lifeboat following a fire onboard its own vessel.
The Tamar class Peter and Lesley-Jane Nicholson will be in on station in Jersey while the George Sullivan is out of service.
It suffered a fire in its engine room during a call out last week.
Repairs are being made, and the cause of the fire is being investigated.
The temporary replacement from the RNLI relief fleet the same class of lifeboat, and the charity says the crew don't need any extra training so she has entered service immediately.
Meanwhile, the St Catherine inshore lifeboat was called out on Saturday (5 October) to a stranded walker at Seymour Tower.
They had miscalculated the time needed to return to shore.
A group staying overnight at the tower looked after them until the RNLI crew collected them.
Michael McNally, Launch Authority, said:
"The area around Seymour Tower is extremely tricky and the topography means it is quite easy to get cut off as the tide comes through the gullies. This case appears to be an unfortunate miscalculation by someone who knows the area quite well. The casualty did the right thing in seeking refuge at the Tower which, whilst isolated, is safe.
"We remind all coastal users to check tide times and, particularly in the south east corner of Jersey, to make sure you know the access and return times which do vary depending on whether the tide is at springs or neaps and the height of those."
