It's all Greek to me.......

So whilst we drive around in the finest lifeboats available anywhere in the world, out in Greece things are not quite the same. Nick's father-in-law has recently returned from Greece and brought this photo with him to share. It's simply superb. Minimalist lifesaving!

I heard recently that when Mother Theressa died the sum total of her possessions was a bucket and two Saris. It certainly makes you wonder how much is enough?

Still, I for one am happy that the RNLI has a policy of providing the best kit available at the time to allow it's crews to do the job as safely and well as possible. I know there are many mothers of lifeboat crew out there too who are glad that we have the best chance of surviving the worst conditions because we have the best kit available.

We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough.....
