Looking at the RNLI around our coast, I have total respect for these guys, so bloody brave.

You are right of course and the Coast Guard too :thumbsup: . But boy they used to annoy me some times, turning up when I was out surfing and telling me to I needed rescuing. :headbang: Then a few times, when I would have happily climbed aboard, they were never around. :wink:

Im sure they are, but I wonder what the old boys must have been like with bits of cork for life jackets, woolly jumpers and oars on the boat?

A great piece of television, really enjoyed it.

Particularly like the bit when they freed the humpback whale.
