Joint team

joint team, originally uploaded by lifeboatjohn.

It is not uncommon to wish to be a part of something. Here you can see a small part of the lifeboat family in Swanage.

Though taken some time ago, this photo clearly shows what is needed, people wise, to help put a lifeboat to sea. From the left can be seen our local coastguard team. In the centre the Chairman of our branch and a number of the guild members. To their right, our ILB crew and on the Mersey our ALB crew. Of course, there is really a much larger team than this when you really delve into the fundraisers and support staff at headquarters, but this gives a flavour.

What does all this add up to? Well, a real sense for the crew, that when they are at sea, they are not on their own...........
