A scrapbook of the lifeboat year in Swanage as it appears to me: the characters, the boats, the shouts, training, thoughts and fun

Silly season
I was woken this morning to a news report on Radio 2 talking about Dexter the dog and his fall. The Telegraph newspaper also has a piece in it this morning including a comment from Becky. Sadly this carried a photo of the dog and not the lovely Becky. I'll make up for that omission here.
Thanks to Andy who also spotted these mentions online in the Mirror and the Echo(now get back to work Andy).

Born in the North of England and a Yorkshire man to the bones (like a Scotsman but with the streak of generosity removed). A sailor at heart with a passion for my family, the ocean, watersports, mountains and making journeys under my own steam. Previously a Submariner and a crewman on the Swanage Lifeboat, I now spend my time as the Head teacher of Craigclowan Prep School, a vibrant and exciting shool in Perthshire, Scotland.
This is a personal blog. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of the RNLI or anyone else. It is intended to provide a chronicle of a year in the life of Swanage Lifeboat Station, it's boats and it's crew. My thoughts and opinions change from time to time..........I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind. Therefor any post is a snapshot of a moment in time and is a manifestation of the various ideas running around my brain at the time it was written. As such any thoughts and opinions expressed within out-of-date posts may not be the same, nor even similar, to those I hold today. Any costs involved have been met by myself in their entirety, no RNLI funds have been spent on this, not even a little. Most importantly, this blog never intends to be in anyway critical or judgemental of those people we rescue. Accidents happen.............

Thanks for that Joan. It's funny isn't it how it's the animal stories which always make the news!
It certainly looks as though the weather is brewing, it's a good stiff Force 5 just now and looks to be setting in worse.
We're on exercise tomorrow so I'll get lots of photos and keep you posted!
John
