Thats an awesome feat mate well done to you all hope you are all well and keeping busy you gave me a book on the visit and i tried and tried to get a gift sent to you but to no avail which i was both disappointed and disgusted at and embarrassed to be honest , i have read the book cover to cover on many occassions and 1 day if this illness rests for a while im coming up to meet you all again hopefully stay safe Mick and all the best to you all.

But isn't there a better way to launch the Lifeboat more quickly??. From when the lads are summoned it must take a long time to get going.

@MarineMick excellent news on being able to stay on Mick , was you one of the guys that came to StIves in Cornwall on your tour of all the stations approx 1999-2000.

[MarineMick]

@zrxsheep Yes indeed I was in St Ives on that tour. I organised it from the beginning in1997 and we just finished up this year in Isaly. We visited every station from Jersey to Aith over the years and had a mighty time.

It wasostly written by Phil Coulter and sung by Liam Clancy. I actually was part of the chorus at the recirding in Windmill Lane studios in Dublin almost 20 years ago

Liam Clancy was a well known folk singer and died about 6 months ago. Regards,

[PriestmanCub]

I spent 17 years as a professional fire fighter, but I couldn't do the work the RNLI people do, thats real courage.

[harbourbu0y]

Cracking! Gerat boat, excellent sound track - outstanding boarding launch - I can see RNLI Gold Medals being awarded for making it to the lifeboat (before even leaving harbour)
