Thank you Andy, I guess your home county has many of these, and well remember the brave souls who lost lives in the service.

Der Dienst auf einem Rettungsboot ist ein harter Job und fordert großen Mut bei Sturm hinaus aufs Meer zu fahren

It seems well suited to its business.
Pity she could not stay there but the new one will do, I hope.

A very well taken image of this lovely looking lifeboat. Such a shame that it's not being fully utilised. As a former sailor I've always had a great respect for the RNLI and I think it's disgraceful that what is, in fact, an emergency service has to rely on contributions from the public to operate. It should be properly by the government (sorry - rant over)!
