THAT FEELING OF SUMMER

Rob Cocking, St Ives RNLI Coxswain Mechanic, met Queen Elizabeth II during that visit and said it was a proud moment to be meeting her son, King Charles III, a decade later. His daughters Violet and Ada also presented Queen Camilla with a posy of flowers.

Rob said: ‘It was an absolute privilege to welcome King Charles III and Queen Camilla to St Ives RNLI and an honour to have met them. They both showed a genuine and passionate interest in the work of the RNLI and spent a long time chatting to many of us about our individual roles and the part we play in saving lives at sea.”

The King and Queen also visited other locations in the town as part of their visit, with thousands of people lining the streets to catch a glimpse.

AkzoNobel has partnered with boating figures from across the world to curate the ultimate yachting playlist, called That Feeling of Summer, perfect for when you are on your boat over the coming months. Every track has been selected by one of those taking part in the That Feeling campaign, sharing what the feeling of being involved in the world of sailing means to them. The song choices reflect their experiences of being on the water and range from rock classics to soothing melodies.

World renowned marine artist Monique Richter opted for AC/DC’s high-energy Thunderstruck, while Sea with Katie, sportfishing influencer and educator of sustainable fishing and marine conservation, picked Tainted Love as her boat beat. Sailing the Vagabond couple Riley and Elayna, of YouTube fame, love to listen to Summertime by The Zombies while out on the water. Meanwhile, sailing Olympic gold medal winners of Rio and Tokyo, Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze added the remastered version of The Clash classic Should I Stay or Should I Go

The playlist is part of AkzoNobel’s That Feeling campaign, which invites the yacht community - from applicators to distributors and sailors to captains - to share the pride and passion they feel from a life connected with sailing and the open water.

Get involved by sharing a photo of a perfect sunset, glorious sea scape or a beautifully painted keel using the hashtag #ThatFeeling.
