Check out Joe's wicked ride on the lifeboat!

For almost 200 years, a group of volunteers called the RNLI have been taking the plunge into the seas around the UK.

From stranded sailing boats to drifting dinghys - it's estimated they've saved more than 130,000 lives.

They now have a new 1.5 million pound tool to tackle even the toughest rescues.

And Joe couldn't wait to try it out!
