We couldn't ask for a finer one. He keeps us safe, makes the right decisions time after time, gets the task done and does a marvellous job of welding us into a team of happy and contented lifeboatfolk. And all this whilst looking such a picture of contentment!
And, for him, today is something of a milestone. Despite having the appearance of a man half his age, he is celebrating his fiftieth birthday as we speak. So, despite being a sprightly and cheery fellow he is now officially an old man..........the Gandalf of our little lifeboating world.
A man of simple pleasures, Martin is happiest with a cup of coffee in hand. It somehow seems to mellow him.
A pint also has the effect of brightening his already cheery disposition.

Only 5 more years and you can join the ranks of retirees. Congratulations on reaching that grand old age, and just remember, experience will always get you out of a crisis.
