1. For some reason old ladies seem to think that knitted jumpers for teddies, and indeed knitted teddies will somehow help us to achieve heroic rescues in adverse conditions.......and I think that they are right, the boat's teddies are indeed a real comfort to us all! Clare of TBT fame agrees, she thinks that 'those teddies look very supportive perhaps the old ladies knit good wishes and good luck into them.' Is that possible?
2. As a lifeboat crewmember you get to do some really cool things, of course driving a lifeboat is cool, however, getting free rides in helicopters is even better.
3. We always get lots of visitors at the boathouse, many of them are great friends like Jo here. For some reason they don't seem to mind us practising our first aid skills on them.........so trusting and so funny.I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way
(Frank Sinatra)

Three has such a pleasing asymmetry. Those teddies look very supportive -- perhaps the old ladies knit good wishes and good luck into them.

That's the great thing Clare, 3 can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. A true number for all occasions!
Thanks haddock, I had noticed the angling club blog, link is there. That is D651, the trials boat, ours is D615.
